Week 2 of the Total Transformation Challenge - New Ideas for Your Diet

January is the month of broccoli and cauliflower – the vegetables that definitely deserve the adjective “super” – they contain a wealth of nutrients and protective substances. Today, we're suggesting three tasty dishes that you can incorporate into your new meal plan any way you wish.

Breakfast suggestion: eggs with broccoli and cauliflower

Ingredients for one person:

• A quarter of a head of broccoli
• A quarter of a head of cauliflower

• A pinch of salt and pepper

Preparation:

Steam the broccoli and the cauliflower for about 5 minutes. Whisk the egg whites and add salt and pepper. On medium heat, fry the egg whites with the broccoli and the cauliflower for about 2 minutes. In the end, add whisked egg yolks then remove from the heat.

Broccoli and potatoes au gratin for a rich lunch

Ingredients for 1 person:

• 1 large potato
• Half of a head of broccoli
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of sour cream
• 1 tablespoon of Parmesan
• Pinch of salt and pepper

Half-cook the potatoes in salted water, then peel it and cut it in larger pieces. Add broccoli and gently stir. Place everything in a baking tray (on top of baking paper). Whisk the egg and stir in the sour cream and the seasoning. Pour the mixture over broccoli and potatoes and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake in the oven at 190°C (gas mark 5) for about 30 minutes.

Meat&veg patties
