This breakfast egg dish provides perfect fuel for the brisk mountain walks that lay ahead of us each day.

Ingredients

  • 40 g butter
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, finely diced
  • 2 small green chillies, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan and melt the butter, then fry the onion until it starts to brown. Add the turmeric and stir to combine, cooking for a few minutes until the onion is brown. Add the garlic and stir, then add the tomato and chilli and stir to combine. Cook until softened, then add the fresh coriander.
  2. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes so the mixture is not too hot when the egg is added. Return the pan to a low heat and add the egg, stirring gently to scramble. Season with salt, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  3. Serve immediately.
