A plan for a spicy breakfast
If you're looking to add some heat to your morning routine, here's a plan for a spicy breakfast:
- Spicy Shakshuka: Shakshuka is a popular Middle Eastern dish made of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. To make it, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and sauté a diced onion and a diced bell pepper until softened. Add a tablespoon of harissa or your favourite hot sauce, a can of diced tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, then use a spoon to make
wells in the sauce and crack eggs into them. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking. - Spicy Avocado Toast: Mash half an avocado with a fork and spread it onto a slice of toasted bread. Top with a fried egg and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
- Spicy Breakfast Burrito: Scramble some eggs in a skillet with diced onions and peppers, then add a spoonful of your favourite hot sauce. Spoon the mixture onto a tortilla, add some shredded cheese and roll up. Grill the burrito on a panini press or a hot skillet until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
- Spicy Smoothie: Blend together a banana, a cup of frozen mango, a handful of spinach, and a small piece of fresh ginger. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Spicy Yogurt Parfait: Layer plain Greek yogurt with diced mango, a sprinkle of granola, and a drizzle of honey mixed with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Note: Adjust the level of spiciness to your taste preferences and make sure to balance the heat with other flavours and ingredients.
