Breakfast

The Portuguese spice called piri piri has taken quite the country quite well – and it’s just as well, because I quite adore the spice! This Portuguese egg dish is their take on Shakshouka, but includes peppers, ricotta, lots of chilies and jalapenos. The most unique addition is that of fresh dill – which is seasonal, so I used dried dill instead. This baked-eggs version works well for a quick dinner routine, with a fairly therapeutic cooking style and delightful aromas that could possible harass the most impatient ones. And the beauty is that it can count as a low-carb, high protein dish.

If you are wary of eggs, go ahead and add in strips of tofu or paneer.

Expect a ‘part deux’ recipe when fresh dill is in season!

Dill = suva ni bhaji

Olive + Cheese French Toast

This is a delicious quick meal that can be had at any time of the day and perhaps one of my most favourite. Once I had an olive baguette that I used, and ever since, I’ve been adding olives into the egg batter. The dash of Worcestershire sauce is like a Welsh rarebit recipe – and adds a dash of oomph. Lots of herbs and chilies and then the best part is – lots of cheese on top – until nice golden and crispy! Eat as is, with sides of ketchup or hot sauce, some Dijon works too!

Pumpkin Leek + Sage Frittata

Whenever I get my hands on a packet of fresh herbs I like to use them up in all ways possible before they get spoilt. Sage is one of my favourite – goes in eggs, pastas, potatoes, cocktails, into a syrup, on fruit with some salt and sugar – the possibilities are endless. But my honest favourite way is pairing sage with pumpkin – a match made in true heaven. I sauté up the pumpkin slices with garlic, leeks and then the sage is added in for its delightful warm, peppery delicious flavours. The egg batter goes in with some peas and cheese and always, always a pinch of nutmeg to make a delicious frittata. I have this for dinner multiple times a month – but if you have a brunch party – go ahead whip this one up!

This recipe is one for all of you pink lovers! In an attempt to increase my iron and hemoglobin levels I have been trying to find unique ways to bring beetroot into each meal. I have discovered that my love for the colour pink now also comes in the form of eggs! This is perhaps the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a while – pink scrambled eggs – grated beetroot, gently cooked until slightly caramelized, proper fried bits of garlic and some spinach and tomatoes. I promise you, you will be after this breakfast for the rest of your life!
