Peach & Pecan Scramble

Scott Hagnas
From Catalyst Athletics


This is a very unusual combination, but it is surprisingly delicious. You can also use apples, blueberries or strawberries.

This recipe is written as a one person snack or light breakfast; increase the quantities if you like.

Time: 5 minutes

• 1/2 peach, diced
• 2 Tbsp chopped pecans
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Dice half of a ripe peach, and chop the pecans. Add the peaches and pecans to the skillet, stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the peaches soften a bit.

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, add the applesauce and cinnamon, and beat well. Add to the skillet, mixing often. When the eggs have set, serve and enjoy.

I have made this w/o the applesauce and it is Delicious. If you cook with berries, add them at the last minute and just warm them. Over cooking will make them soggy. I know you may think "fruit in my eggs? grody" but don't knock it til you try it.

Slice the courgette in half lengthwise, cut with a potato peeler or julienne peeler. (This is your pasta)
Heat 2 frying pans to medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with the herbs and salt and pepper. Put in a hot pan and cover with a lid to steam cook.
Straight away put the sliced veggies and garlic in the other pan. Sauté until cooked then add in chopped tomatoes, herbs and seasoning.
When the chicken starts turning white on the top turn over.
When the chicken is almost cooked add the courgettes to 1 side of the sauce pan. Mix in with some of the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Serve with the courgette 'pasta' on the base the put the veggies on top. Pour a cap of olive oil on top once plated.

Other option - replace tomatoes with coconut cream add more mushrooms and take out the herbs.
