Balado egg chili sauce

These balado eggs are really fun because the boiled eggs are fried first so that the skin is a bit crispy, then doused with spicy red balado sauce that is blended finely from chilies, onions, shallots, and tomatoes. The taste is a combination of spicy, a little sour from the tomatoes, and a fragrant aroma from lime leaves or lemongrass—especially if you use lime leaves or lemongrass in the sauce.

Chipotle on Toast

A chipotle inspired recipe where two of my favourite components - guacamole and taco beef are moved onto an open toast! Chipotle on Toast is an open-faced sourdough toast topped with creamy guacamole (mashed avocado, red onion, coriander, lemon juice, and black pepper) and a warm, spiced minced-beef mix stir-fried with bell peppers, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. It’s a satisfying sweet-savoury contrast of crisp toast, rich avocado, and taco-style beef—optionally made extra silky with a spoon of Greek yoghurt.
