Veggie & “Egg” Scramble

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 3/4-1 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black salt, more to taste (optional, but enhances the egg flavor)
• 4 cups potato flakes (use potato flakes that are oil and additive free)
• 1 cup chopped sweet onion (optional)
• 1 cup thinly sliced zucchini (optional)
• 1 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro to serve (optional)

Additional ideas of veggies & herbs to add:

• 1/2 cup chopped asparagus
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1 cup spinach, tightly-packed
• 1 tbsp chives
• 1/4 cup scallions
• 1 cup chopped broccoli
• 2-3 avocado slices, to serve (leave out if fat-free)
• 1/2 cup arugula, to serve

Directions:

In a large skillet, add the water then add potato flakes, spices and salt.

Place the skillet on medium-high heat and cook whilst folding the mixture (rather than stirring) and breaking up any larger chunks. The “eggs” are done when it’s cooked through and resembles a scramble, remove from heat.

In a separate skillet, add the onion, zucchini, red bell pepper and tomatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, until they are soft and the tomatoes are bursting.

Add the onion, zucchini, bell pepper and tomatoes to the skillet with the scramble and fold with spatula until evenly mixed.

Serve immediately with chopped parsley or cilantro on top (optional).
