INGREDIENTS
- 160 g of ripe cherry tomatoes, on the vine
- 4 thin slices of wholemeal bread, (35 g each)
- 3 large sized free-range eggs
- 1x15 g of slice of higher-welfare smoked ham
- 80 g of baby spinach
- 2 tbsp. of partial-skimmed milk or skimmed milk (if you prefer)
- 1 heaped tbsp. of cottage cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Hot chili sauce
method
Pre-heat the grill to high temperature.
Lay the tomato vines in a large baking tray, prick each tomato with the tip of a sharp knife and grill for 4 minutes, then add the bread to the tray to toast on both sides.
Meanwhile, crack 1 egg into a blender. Add the ham, spinach, a good pinch of black pepper and the milk. Then, blitz until smooth.
Take the tray from under the grill and divide the green egg mixture between the four pieces of toast, spreading it right out to the edges. Divide and dot over the cottage cheese, then put back under the grill for another 4 minutes, or until starting to brown at the edges.
Meanwhile, dry fry the remaining 2 eggs in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, covering the pan with a lid to steam and coddle the eggs on the top, cook to your liking. Divide up the Popeye bread and serve each portion with an egg and half of the grilled tomatoes. Finish with just a few drips of good oil, and a drizzle of chili sauce for a bit of a kick. Crush the tomatoes, tear up the bread, bust up the egg yolk and enjoy it!

INGREDIENTS
- 1 ¼ cups of canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel (400 g or 240 g without water)
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp. (165 g) of natural peanut butter (not regular peanut butter)
- ¼ cup (80 g) of honey (agave)
- 1 tsp. of baking powder (For grain-free baking powder, use 1 part cream of tartar +
- 1 part baking soda + 2 parts arrowroot)
- A pinch of salt if your peanut butter doesn’t have salt in it
- ½ cup (90 g) of chocolate chips
method
Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they’re combined.
Put in the chocolate chips and stir it if you can, or pulse stirring once or twice. The mixture will be very thick and sticky.
With wet hands, form the mixture into 4 cm diameter balls. Place onto a piece of parchment paper. If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don’t do much rising. Bake for about 10 minutes.
