A Veggie Big Breakfast

Preparation time: 30mins

Serves 4

Golden Hash Browns

• 500g kipfler potatoes
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 wedge of red onion

Scrub and dice the potatoes and add to a pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to the boil and allow to gentle bubble away for 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender, strain well.

Slice the wedge of onion thinly and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a medium sized ovenproof frying pan, add the cooked potatoes and shake the pan to spread them evenly. Using a fork or potato masher gently mash the potatoes a little to break a few of them up and allow the hash to stick together a little.

Top with the sliced onion and season with salt & pepper. Fry the hash over a medium/low heat for 5 minutes and then place the frying pan under a medium grill. Allow the potatoes to golden under the grill; this should take about 5 minutes. Remove and serve the hash warm straight from the frying pan.

Grilled Tomatoes & Capsicum

• 1 large tomato, sliced into wedges
• 1 capsicum (bell pepper), sliced into strips
• 2 tsp dried marjoram
• ¼ tsp raw sugar
• 2 tbs olive oil
• fresh basil leaves, torn
• ground salt & pepper to taste

Arrange the sliced tomato and capsicum on a baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil and then sprinkle with the marjoram, sugar and salt and pepper.

Place under a medium grill for 5-8 minutes until soft and golden. Remove from the grill and serve warm topped with torn fresh basil leaves.

Tim’s Dijon Dressing

• 3 tbs mayonnaise (use egg-free mayonnaise for vegans)
• 2 tsps Dijon mustard

Whisk ingredients together until smooth.
