This isn’t my original recipe, I found it in Slimming & Health magazine, one of their “quick meals”, but I modified it quite a bit to suit my taste 😛 The preparation actually takes longer than the cooking! All up, it took about 20-25 mins to do everything, inclusive of washing the dishes (eg. could wash chopping board and knife whilst waiting for eggs to boil). Really simple and it’s easy to make a batch for 4 and save it in the fridge 🙂 It’s really healthy but satisfying.. remember to make your portions smaller than usual – the potatoes are really filling!
Unfortunately, the photo didn’t turn out well.. it looks kinda messy 🙁 It’s tough photographing real food that you’re about to eat, since you can’t lacquer them or pour glue on them, etc, as I’ve heard food photographers do. Ah well!

wow i am amazed at how much patience you have to take photos of the cooking process and the final product!
and the pics of the food you have when you eat out…
i’m usually so hungry that it’s usually after i’ve already attacked my food, leaving it in a mess when i remember ‘hey, i should have taken a picture of it!’
😛
Haha I do love my food, but for ages I kept forgetting to take pics before wolfing it down 😉 I’m better now!
