Poached egg with mushrooms and tomatoes
Yummy poached eggs are easier to make than you think. The most important think is that the eggs are of good quality and that they are fresh.
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 6/10 cherry tomatoes
- 2 large Mushrooms
Instructions
- Put the coconut on in a pan bring to heat then put the mushrooms and tomatoes in.
- Meanwhile yourself a wide, deep pan and fill it with boiling water from the kettle. Bring it to a light simmer over a medium heat, add a pinch of sea salt and turn the mushrooms.
- Crack one of your eggs into a cup and gently pour it into the water in one fluid movement. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. Depending on your pan, a really soft poached egg should take around 2 minutes and a soft to firm one will need 4 minutes (it depends on the size of the eggs). To check whether they’re done, remove one carefully from the pan with a slotted spoon and give it a gentle push with a teaspoon. If it feels too soft, put it back and give the eggs a minute or two more in the water to firm up.
- When they’re ready, remove them to some kitchen paper to dry off and a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Another great use of cauliflower and it was actually quite easy to make. If you haven’t tried a cauliflower pizza crust recipe yet, you must, it doesn't taste like cauliflower at all.

- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese choose vegan cheese subsitute
- pizza sauce & additional toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Cut florets into chunks and pulse in a food processor until it looks like rice. Do not over process, you don’t want mush.
- Microwave the riced cauliflower in a bowl for 5-8 minutes depending on your microwave. . After microwaving, transfer riced cauliflower to a clean tea towel and remove excess water needs to be cooled before you do this. This drying process is important!
- One large head of cauliflower will make 3 cups of riced cauliflower.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cooking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup riced, cooked cauliflower, 1 egg and your parmesan cheese. Next, add Italian seasonings, crushed garlic and salt. Place your “dough” on the cooking sheet and pat into a round pizza base. Be sure not to press it too thin as it’s easy to create holes.

Italian tomato sauce
The perfect tomato base for pizza and meatballs. I tend to make this in batches so i can use some for other dishes during the week.
Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and finely sliced
- 3 400g good-quality tinned plum tomatoes
- 1/2 tbsp Balsamic drizzle
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
- Place a large non-stick frying pan on the heat and coconut oil. Add the garlic, once the garlic begins to colour lightly, add the tomatoes and balsamic drizzle. Squash the tomatoes as much as you can.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper. As soon as it comes to the boil, remove the pan from the heat. Strain the sauce through a coarse sieve into a bowl, using a spoon to push any larger bits of tomato through. Discard the left overs in the sieve, but make sure you scrape any of the tomatoe goodness off the back of the sieve into the bowl.
- Pour the sauce back into the pan, bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes to concentrate the flavours. It will be ready when it’s the perfect consistency for spreading on your pizza.
- Store the sauce in a clean jar in the fridge it’ll keep for a week or so, alternitively put into zip lock bags and one cooled freeze.

Dirty bunless burger
I have to say the day I made this recipie it was one of the happiest days ever! It's just unbelievably good, 100% clean but so dirty 😉 and, I'm sure you will absolutely love it.
Ingredients
- Two 3/4-cup ramekins sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
- 1 sweet potato peeled and ends cut flat
- 1 large egg
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 small burger organic and grass fed beef
- 1 slice oinion
- 1 slice beef tomato
- 1 leaf lettice
- 1 tbsp coconut oil divided
Instructions
- Using a spiralizer, cut sweet potato into thin strands.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/2 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat. Add garlic power and sweet potato and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg. Stir in sweet potato, salt and pepper. Divide between prepared ramekins, filling each about 1 third and pressing the sweet potato down into the ramekins. Its really important not to make them too thick as they can easily fall apart if you do and they are much better crisp. Cover with greaseproof paper and place a heavy can or jar on top of the wrap to weigh down the sweet potato. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Start grilling your burger just before you are ready to cook the buns. Put the onion slices and burger into a frying pan with a small amount of coconut oil you don't need much as the natural juices will come out of the burger.
- Slice a tomato and a small lettice leaf ready to build your dirty burger.
- Lightly coat a pan with the remaining oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove greaseproof paper and tap ramekins to slide noodle buns onto skillet and add the onion slice. Cook, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides and hot in the center.
