Prep and cooking time: 30 mins

  • Gluten-free
  • High-protein
  • Lower-carbohydrate

Ingredients

Serves: 2

  • 2 corn on the cob
  • 200g vine cherry tomatoes
  • 200g cauliflower rice
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 200g cavolo nero, roughly chopped
  • 100g chorizo, finely sliced
  • ½ avocado, finely sliced
  • 2 fried eggs (optional)
  • 1 small handful fresh coriander leaves, torn
  • ⅛ , ¼ tsp chipotle spice mix or smoked paprika
  • 50ml plain natural or Greek yoghurt
  • ½ lime, juiced

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to grill.

Step 2

Add the corn and tomatoes still on the vine to a non-stick baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill for 15-20mins, or until the corn and tomatoes are just starting to blacken. Alternatively, grill the tomatoes in the oven and place the corn cobs directly onto a gas hob flame, turning often.

Step 3

Set the corn aside to cool slightly before cutting the kernels off to add to the breakfast bowls.

Step 4

Add the butter to a non-stick frying pan followed by the cauliflower rice. Continue to stir and cook until some of the cauliflower rice goes translucent. Divide cooked cauliflower rice between two serving bowls.

Step 5

Using the same pan (no need to clean off), fry the cavolo nero for 5mins, or until just wilted. Remove from pan and divide between the two serving bowls.

Step 6

Add the sliced chorizo to the pan and fry for 8mins, or until just starting to crisp on the edges, add to serving bowls.

Step 7

Blend the coriander, yoghurt, chipotle, lime, salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Finish the bowls by adding the corn, tomatoes, avocado slices, and fried egg (if using), and drizzle the dressing all over.

Step 9
