I work from home. So most days I try to eat healthy but there are the times where my lunch is nothing more than snacking on potato chips or crackers and cheese. I enjoy cooking for other people, but don’t often cook for myself. After a few days, my body revolts, demanding fresh produce and green things. And then I wonder why I don’t take the time to make myself a lovely healthy lunch like this every day?

Once the veg is roasted, top it with greek yogurt and fresh, spicy, zingy chutney. Or an egg and chili sauce. Or burrata and pesto. DO NOT use jarred chutney or pesto. For the vegan version, simply skip the dairy/egg on top.

Ingredients
Serves 1
1/2 fennel bulb, sliced
2-3 wild carrots, chopped and sliced
brussels sprouts, either halved or whole
other veg (sweet potato, leeks, onions, cabbage, parsnip, swede)
Full fat greek yogurt (leave out if vegan).

Green chutney

1 cup fresh cilantro/coriander leaves
1/2 cup basil
1/2 cup parsley
1 tsp fresh ginger
2-3 cloves garlic
1 green jalapeno (with seeds)
1 tbs of nuts
1 tbs of lemon or lime juice
salt and pepper
water as needed

1) Chop/slice the veg to equal-ish sizes. Drizzle with olive oil and grind salt and pepper over. Roast for 20-25 min, or until golden brown and cooked through.
2) Put all the ingredients for the chutney in a food processor and blitz, adding a little water as needed to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning (add more salt, more lemon juice, etc.)
3) Top with a dollop of greek yogurt, green chutney, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and another grind of pepper.

  • chutney is also good as an omelette filling
  • in a Bombay sandwich
  • on quesadillas
  • on chickpea tacos

A nice change for an omelette. Include cheese or not. Zingy, a little spicy and quite healthy (especially with no added cheese or yogurt) for a mid-week breakfast. Homemade green chutney is also great in a grilled cheese, a bombay sandwich (one of my favorite sandwiches), on potatoes, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, etc.

Ingredients for one omelette
3 eggs, beaten
butter
salt and pepper
green chutney*
shredded cheese (optional)
greek yogurt (optional)
mango ginger chutney (optional)

Green chutney
1 cup fresh cilantro/coriander leaves
1 tsp fresh ginger
2-3 cloves garlic
2 green jalapenos (with a sprinkle of seeds left in for spice)
a handful of fresh mint, chives, basil if available
1 tbs of nuts such as cashews or peanuts
juice of one lime
salt and pepper
dash of water if needed

See this recipe for a similar mint chutney

1) Make the green chutney by tossing everything into a blender or food processor and pureeing. Deseed the jalapenos first but add in a few of the seeds for a little extra kick.
2) Season the eggs with just a little salt and pepper. Heat up a tbs of butter in a frying pan until quite hot and pour in the beaten eggs.
3) Cook the omelette as you normally would (unless you want to follow my system) and then spoon about 2-3 tbs of chutney in the middle before folding over.
4) Serve plain or with greek yogurt, shredded cheese and a sweet chutney like mango ginger chutney.
