Ingredients
- 1 red onion peeled, chopped fine
- 1 red bell pepper core removed, washed, cut chunky
- 5 cherry tomatoes washed, halved
- 2 eggs cracked and whisked in a bowl
- 3 kale leaves stem removed, washed, shredded
dressing
- 1 garlic clove peeled, minced
- 1 piece of ginger finely grated
- 1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Begin by assembling and preparing all of the vegetables.
- In a large saute pan with a lid, add the onions and either a splash of water or a few sprays of low cal oil spray. Place on the lid and cook gently for 2 mins over a medium heat.
- After 2 mins, add the bell peppers and tomatoes, return the lid and cook for a further 1 minute.
- Next, stir through the whisked eggs (or scrambled tofu if using) then add the kale. Replace the lid and turn the heat down a little (so you do not burn the egg). Leave to cook for 1-2mins. Remove from the heat and leave the pan with the lid on for another 1-2mins.
- Whilst the pan is left to one side, off the heat, prepare the dressing by mixing the dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Remove the lid from the pan and stir the dressing through.
- Add the cooked food to a serving bowl and eat whilst warm. Season as desired.
