The Loco Moco is a dish that is often featured in Hawaiian cuisine. I encountered the loco moco when I visited Hawaii in 2008. I was apprehensive at first as it had traditionally had a slab of spam in it. But I soon realised you could have a meat patty instead. The problem with the Hawaiian version is the portion size. They. Are. MASSIVE. But they don’t need to be! This version is a much smaller but still satisfying as when you break down the ingredients – it’s not that it’s really unhealthy – It’s quite the opposite!
Breakfast eggs and chickpeas in tomato.
Note: more spices/herbs can be added to your liking. Also add any vegetables you desire. Bacon can be added for a non-vegetarian alternative.
The secret to this is the silicone tray which is not only non-stick, (when the minini-quiches cool down and shrink a little they lift straight out) but it doesn’t need any oil, and is super easy to clean.
Before getting ready for work in the morning, preheat the oven to 200 deg celsius and prep the ingredients. While it’s cooking, shower, get dressed, whatever, and a quick, nutritious breakfast is ready to go when you are!
Rissoles are so easy to make and given that Turkey Mince is quite cheap.. they are economical oh and very yummy indeed!
Combined with a salad, these rissoles are perfect for a summer evening and are a go to meal for eating outside your metabolic window. If you are looking to have these inside your window – no problem! You can just add a high energy carb onto the side! Mashed Potatoes would be a hit… BUT only if you are having them inside your window đŸ˜‰
I’m not gonna lie – I *love* pumpkin. LOVE. IT. It’s such a nutritious and yet low energy vegetable and it tastes delicious. So it stands to reason that these little gems taste fantastic and are very versatile in when you choose to eat them. They won’t last long though! đŸ™‚
I have been pushing this recipe on all and sundry in the hopes that they will consider having a piece of Frittata rather than a bowl of sugary cereal. Short of threatening people, I made my Monday night boxing crew some of this yummy goodness and it was agreed that my Epic Frittata is.. well EPIC!
This meal is great because it can also be refrigerated and eaten a few mornings in a row, saving you time, effort and money. It’s also quite versatile in that if you don’t have time to sit down and eat it, wrap it up in a Tortilla and away you go!
