Ingredients

2 organic eggs (optional)

1 tbsp coconut oil, melted

½ head organic broccoli, cut into florets

1 cup organic kale, stalks removed and leaves torn into bite size pieces

1 cup baby spinach

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp raw almonds, roughly chopped

1 tbsp pumpkin seeds

1 tbsp sunflower seeds

1 avocado, cut in half and stone removed

Dressing One

¼ cup coconut oil

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

½ avocado

1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

Dressing Two

2 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp lemon juice

½ tsp curry powder (optional)

½ garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated

¼ cup water

Method

Place the eggs in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the boil and boil gently for 3-4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, place the eggs under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs and set aside.

Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, constantly stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned. Add the almonds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and toast until lightly browned. Add the broccoli and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Then add the kale and spinach leaves and mix to incorporate. Once the kale and spinach have slightly wilted remove from the heat.

Spoon the mixture into serving bowls. Top with half an avocado and one egg. Drizzle over your dressing of choice and enjoy.

To make the dressings, simply add all the ingredients into a high speed food processor or blender and process until smooth. Alternatively, mash the avocado with a fork and add the ingredients to a jar, put on the lid, and shake until combined.

Both dressings can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week.

This dish can also be served alongside any other source of protein such as grilled salmon, sardines or chicken.
