Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 red onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound figs, stems trimmed, cut into quarters
1/4 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 egg whites (2 whites per sandwich)
1 teaspoon piment d'espelette
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup fresh blueberries
8 slices flaxseed or whole-wheat bread (1/2-inch thick)

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions, separating them, and sprinkle with the salt. Saute for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are deep amber in color, another 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the fig jam: Combine 1/4 cup water, the figs, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, 45 to 60 minutes. For the eggs: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and use a paper towel to grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Crack 2 egg whites into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Pour the whites into the skillet and add 1/4 teaspoon piment d'espelette and some black pepper. Cook until opaque, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs to make 3 more omelets.
  • For the salad: Combine the olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar and shake vigorously to blend. Toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing. Toast the bread. Spread 1 tablespoon jam on each of 4 slices of toast and add 1 tablespoon caramelized onions. Top with the egg whites and cover with the remaining slices of toast. Serve with the salad.

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Lunch, Main course, Side dish

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g brown basmati & wild rice mix
300g baby carrot , peeled
250g red seedless grape , picked from the stalk
1 tbsp extra virgin olive or rapeseed oil
200g green bean
100g bag pecan
2 good handfuls rocket leaves
200g pack feta cheese , crumbled into chunks
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
juice ½ lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive or rapeseed oil

Steps:

  • Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the carrots and grapes on a large baking tray, keeping the grapes at one end and the carrots at the other (the grapes will bleed some of their juice onto the tray, which will stain the carrots). Drizzle the carrots with the oil and season. Roast for 10 mins, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool a little. When the rice is cooked, drain and run under the cold tap to cool a little, then set aside to drain completely.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to the boil, add the beans and cook for 2 mins or until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool a little. In a large bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together with some seasoning. Add the rice, carrots, beans, pecans, rocket and half the feta, and toss everything together. Transfer to a serving plate, then scatter over the remaining feta and the roasted grapes. Drizzle any juice from the baking tray over the salad and serve.
