Spicy satay veggie egg parcels

This cold weather is really getting to me recently! Yesterday after a good HIIT session, I was starving and wanted something really warming yet fresh and light, something just like my dad would whip up on a typical lazy weekend at home- yes, I think that I'm starting to get slightly home sick!
Having to make do with what I had in the fridge, I decided to experiment and came up with this pretty awesome dish, not quite sure what to call it but definitely worth making, so full of flavour! If you want to make this more filling, I'm sure that adding some cooked rice or noodles to the veggie mix would work perfectly!

SPICY SATAY VEGGIE EGG PARCELS

• 1 large carrot, grated
• Half of a small courgette/ Quarter of a large courgette, grated
• Your choice of additional veggies: I used 3 mushrooms & a few corn kernels
• 1 egg
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large chilli
• Half a tsp of crushed ginger/ galangal
• 1 heaped tsp of crushed nuts/ peanuts, optional

For the sauce:

• 1 heaped tsp peanut butter
• 0.5 tsp soya sauce
• 0.5 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp honey

1. In a frying pan on medium heat, add a little oil and fry the garlic, ginger, chilli and crushed nuts if using.
2. Once the garlic mixture becomes fragrant, add in the grated carrot and courgette. After 1-2 minutes, add in the additional vegetables. Season with pepper and let this cook down for a couple of minutes, you may need to cover the pan to allow the veggies to steam slightly.
3. Once the vegetables are cooked (after about 2-3 minutes), remove from the pan and keep aside.
4. Back to the pan, on low heat, heat up the peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, lemon juice and soya sauce for about a minute until combined, stir the veggies back into the pan and flip around until well mixed. The filling is now ready.
5. Season your egg with some salt and pepper. For the egg parcel, you can either make a very thin omelette to wrap the filling in, or could try and make a lacy egg wrapper if you want to impress (I lost patience whilst doing this, so mine is a cross between the two!). Just make sure that your pan is well greased.
6. When the egg is cooked, place the veggie filling in the centre and fold the egg wrapper around to make a square.

Plate up with some fresh salad and top with chopped spring onion, fresh chilli and some coconut, delicious! Perfect revision food. Also just whipped up some quick spiced apple and vanilla Christmas cupcakes.

I also made some dark chocolate covered protein truffles, perfect festive treat without going over board calorie wise- recipe coming soon.
