you think of the
flavor and the texture of avocado rich
phenomenal i want to make it a little
bit more vibrant
black sesame seeds a nice pinch of chili
flakes i quite like it hot
a touch of salt
and a touch of pepper so that nice dry
combination of the lemon zest black
sesame seeds and the heat the chili this
is light healthy quick
but so tasty
sourdough bread
three nice chunky thick slices
open them up
lightly season them
little touch of olive oil
brings the whole crust to life
rub all that seasoning in
but you can use too bad
you can use
a baguette but the richness from the
sourdough with the silky creaminess of
avocado is mind-blowing and then get the
grill up to temperature
and push these down
go the extra mile we've all put bread in
a toaster of a difference
of grilling the bread this way
is extraordinary that nice smoky
charcoal flavor
off with the gas beautiful
now the avocado you've got to treat them
with love respect press on the end here
and if your thumb
softens you can tell that avocado's ripe
never press here you just end up
bruising it
slice down
until you feel that stone in the middle
and then just roll around and then it's
just a little gentle twist
off
stone
and out cut them into quarters
the back of your knife
peel back that skin if the avocado is
nice and ripe it should just all fall
away slice
just take your quarters fan them out
and push them into the bread
the ripe of the avocado the better the
flavor but look for ones free from soft
spots and blemishes which can suggest
bruising
get your lemon
squeeze
that will stop the avocado from
discoloring
and then get your crunch ready to go on
top
sprinkle
a very
generous light way got the fragrance
from the lemon zest
the crunch from the sesame seed the heat
that little chili flake which just wakes
up that avocado
they look
expensive
that for me is a delicious light start
to the day
avocado on sourdough toast with lemon
and black sesame sprinkle
every time i put
a healthy recipe together a healthy dish
it needs a bit of a treat so this is a
lovely stunning
get up and go fresh granola first thing
in the morning the treat here
is in that little baby honey so that
sweetens it
so just start off with 200ml
of delicious honey
into a pan just to warm up in she goes
now
i know these are a chef's favorite but
it makes all the difference especially
for breakfast a fresh
vanilla pod and i think of the way that
i use herbs to add
flavor to soups and salads
i'd like to think vanilla does exactly
the same
scrape out all those wonderful seeds
in
now
the staple of the granola
is the oats
[Music]
next puff rice
delicious
crunchy
but light
and fluffy next add wheat bran and your
seeds pumpkin sunflower and linseed
and then almonds
incredible
that nice heavy weight
from the nut bunch
now bring the honey to the boil
slowly drizzle that amazing honey
in
give that a really good mix coat the
granola with the hot honey just slowly
churn it
using the outside of the bowl
you can see it just getting nice and
sticky
once the granola is completely coated in
honey it's ready to bake
now spread the mix on baking paper i'm
gonna season it lightly with a touch of
salt on top
the salt throughout dries up the oats
and the honey will roast
color and glaze
the granola
nice into the oven for 25 to 30 minutes
[Music]
10 minutes into the cooking simply run a
spoon across the top to turn the mix and
ensure it's crunchy all over
smell that light
roast look at the color
honestly look it's crispy it's delicious
now i'm gonna tart it up and put some
lovely dried cranberries that just gives
us chewy
sweet flavor delicious
and then finally
these beautiful berries
goji berries goji berries are high in
antioxidants and have been eaten china
for centuries for their healing
properties but you can add any dried
fruit you like the cranberry and the
goji berries gives it that nice chewy
rich texture
to the granola
now
this is the best way
to store it it looks incredible
really incredible
look at that
that
eat well stay well
right
milk
my homemade crunchy granola it looks
good tastes good and it's packed with
healthy grains superfood berries and
seeds it's incredibly good for you too a
breakfast for champions
start off with a chili
now
give it a little rub
so
you can
hear those seeds
being released
get your knife
and come all the way down
turn it over and just slice it
into four and then
finely chop that chili
i want this salad slightly hot
so i'm gonna use all the chili but a
half the seeds the seeds are where the
heat is so the less you use the milder
your dish nicely chopped
next
one of my favorite pastes tamarind paste
this is quite tart quite sour but it's a
wonderful compliment to the sweetness of
the fruit and it goes brilliantly well
with the chilli
palm sugar
and this is where it sweetens up
the dressing because it enriches it then
the zest and the juice of the lime cut
it into quarters
and then twist the lime to maximize and
all that juice out now to finish that
dressing off some toasted peanuts
get the pan nice and hot
a little touch of salt
that'll help dry roast the peanuts
even quicker
make sure you get a really nice
dark color on those peanuts because it
will really transform that dressing
to crush your roasted nuts the mess free
way simply wrap them in a clean cloth
and use a rolling pin or a pan to bash
them
crush
that's the hard bit done
now for the fruit and here's an easy way
to prep a pineapple pineapple
take off the top
take off the bottom
and stand it up use the corner of your
knife
and follow down
basically like shaving the pineapple
don't worry about these little spikes
there
the secret behind doing it this way is
not losing half the pineapple there's
nothing wrong with a few brown bits it's
all good fiber
slice the pineapple in half
and then slice down
each quarter
slice
across and chop
delicious
pineapple chunks
next apples and pears diced then to give
a lovely fresh light note the seeded
cucumber
i don't want the seeds in the fruit
salad the cucumber seeds will make it
very watery and
dilute the strength of that wonderful
chili in there
cucumber in
with some sweetness
delicious mango just slice it nicely
get your dressing
and just drizzle that over the fruit
salad
in
secret of a good fruit salad
is not drowning in the dressing
but really make sure that you've got
that nice coating on all the fruits
don't worry about just having for
breakfast because this is the kind of
tangy fruit salad you can have for lunch
a healthy snack in the afternoon but it
transforms a traditional fruit salad
into something really delicious
spicy fruit salad with a kick of chili
trust me it's an incredible breakfast
and a guaranteed pick me up in the
morning
