Dr David Unwin’s Quick Bacon and Broccoli Fry-Up
“A delicious, easy lunch, kindly sent to us by the inspirational GP Dr David Unwin, who has been championing the low-carb, higher-fat approach to eating for some years. He has helped many of his patients lose weight, improve their blood sugars and reverse their diabetes; and was doing this at a time when people didn’t believe it was possible.” p. 53

Fry the bacon in the olive oil, add the mushrooms and then the broccoli and cook until everything has softened and melded together. Add some black pepper and sprinkle on the grated cheese, and tuck in. (Even better, if you have time: place the mixture in an oven dish under the grill until it’s golden brown on top.)
Tip: you can replace the bacon with either 60g haloumi, fried first like the bacon, or 80g peppered hot smoked rainbow trout, which should be added at the end to the softened veg mixture.
Oh, that looks wonderful, Carol! And so nice to know there are some tasty alternatives for those who want to do trout or haloumi instead. I like flexible recipes.
