This wonderful vegetarian dish doubles up as a tasty brunch that wakes up the tastebuds for a lazy Sunday spent pouring over the Sunday papers, or a super weekday supper dish served with a fresh green salad. With approximately 4 - 5 x 100g portions of vegetables per person, totalling six when combined with a glass of fresh pure vegetable juice, this is a super-healthy way to start or end the day.

** Healing Intent: when cooking foods to heal the body it is important to set your intent. The best way to do this is imagine that you are cooking this dish for yourself or for someone you love who is very ill and that this dish is the only thing that will help in their healing. You will find that the way you handle the food will change, and will not only result in a better dish, but you will feel the food actually nourishing your body and spirit.
