Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato, peeled & sliced thinly lengthways
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted plus extra as needed
  • 2 heaped tbsp blanched almonds
  • Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • 2 cups sliced green beans
  • 1 bunch kale, stems & spines removed, roughly chopped
  • Handful baby English spinach leaves
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups hot cooked brown rice
  • ½ cucumber, spiralised into noodles
  • 1 avocado, peeled & sliced
  • 2 sheets nori, torn, or handful dried nori strips
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for sprinkling (optional)
  • Dressing
  • ¼ cup tahini
    60mL filtered water
  • 60mL lemon juice
    1 lemon, zested
  • Few drops liquid Stevia or sweetener of choice
  • 1½ tsp tamari or coconut aminos
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
    ¼ tsp ground ginger

Method


  • To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a jar, seal tightly and shake until combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the sweet potato in a roasting tin, drizzle over half the coconut oil and bake for 10–15 mins, until cooked.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic and spring onions for 1–2 mins. Add the beans and kale, and stir-fry for 3–4 mins, until cooked through.
  • Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 mins, until wilted. Move the greens to one side of the pan and fry the eggs to your liking, adding a little more oil if needed.
  • In two wide shallow bowls, arrange the brown rice, spiralised cucumber, cooked greens and avocado, then top with the almonds, sweet potato, nori and a fried egg. Drizzle the dressing over and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using, and pepper.
