If you are watching your weight, or eating for breakfast you might want to share it with a friend.
This is something you can throw together, and still feel like you are eating in a fancy restaurant.

Dietary Guidance
Dietary Guidance
Vegan/ Vegetarian: 100% vegan recipe.
Blood sugar management: I am hypoglycaemic and this recipe works well at balancing my blood glucose. X points on Zoe due to the good fats. You can find out more about blood sugar management here
Fats: 42 grams is a lot of fat in one meal and makes this high calorie. However the fat is well balanced between HDLs and LDLs. Daily fat intake (your RDA) should be managed. It is important not to overindulge and to manage fat content in other meals throughout the day. Find out about managing high cholesterol here
Gluten Free: Suitable for celiacs provided you buy brands that guarantee no cross contamination. Find out more about a celiac diet here
FODMAP: Unlikely to irritate the gut. Find out more about FODMAPS here.
Low in ultra-processed ingredients: Tahini, maple syrup, psyllium husks and Apple cider vinegar all require a moderate level of processing. The rest you do in your food processor. Find out about ultra-processed foods here

I do not offer medical or dietary advice and I am not qualified to do so. I recommend everyone to get support from a qualified health practitioner for their own personalised advice. If you have symptoms of a health condition you may benefit from getting tests and guidance for
Blood fat control (full cholesterol check)

Blood tests in relation to specific symptoms
I got tested and it was life changing for me. I put my personal ZOE score as guidance for anyone who may have the same health issues as me.
If you are trying to lose weight speak to a health practitioner to
Measure your BMI (body fat ratio) and to
Recommend a daily calorie intake to lose weight
Your health practitioner can also keep you up to date on Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) for fat, sugars and other nutrients to ensure you get a balanced diet that works for your particular health needs.

You will notice I use the term "in moderation" a lot. Just like one glass of wine with a meal can be healthy, while binge drinking is harmful to your health, almost all nutrients can be harmful in large doses. It is really important you do your own research and take responsibility for managing your diet.
I am a big ZOE fan and will always recommend their podcast (on Apple or Spotify) and their video channel as a major source of up-to-date health information.
Information about ingredients and nutritional advice will get a outdated over time because nutritional science is constantly moving forwards. I do my best to keep things updated - but sometimes there will be a broken link, or I will be behind with the latest updates. I am sorry!

Step 1 Chana Bread
Step 1 Chana Bread
Chana flatbread is a little like a pizza base. It is quite stiff and crispy. This allows you to cut it into pizza shaped slices to eat.
If you want to serve it this way you will need to make up the chana flatbread batter about 1 hour advance. The chana bread is cooked for around 10-12 minutes in a hot 12 inch frying pan. It shouold be

Step 2 Prepare Plate
Step 2 Prepare Plate
Find a small plate.
Smear the rose harissa on the plate into a large circle. Top with yoghurt and smear over the harissa to cover the circle. Then smear tahini on top of that. Add salt and torn herbs along with the 3 chopped cherry tomatoes, capers and chopped pickled cucumber.
It should be pretty as a picture.
Step 3 Cook Eggs
Step 3 Cook Eggs
Boil eggs so they are half way between hard boiled and soft boiled. It usually takes about 4 minutes if you are using medium sized eggs.
Once boiled cool a little under cold water so that they are able to be handled.
Take a very sharp knife and chop them in half. I usually say "Haya!" to add to the drama.
Then scoop the eggs out of their shell using a spoon and arrange on the plate. Decorate with pecans or top with a few crushed and toasted nuts.
Add a little salt and serve with posh napkins and fresh coffee! Indulgent!
