stewed! launch a revolutionary breakfast
A seriously satisfying cooked breakfast at just 325 calories, that is gluten-free, 2 of your 5-a-day and heat-and-eat ready in three minutes? A “hearty fry-up” without the fry, without the washing up and without the heart-y failure? Count me in.
Even by the groundbreaking standards of stewed! this is a revolutionary idea. A first on the market. A trail blazing, one-pot, hot savoury breakfast. Genius. Why didn’t you think of it?
Beans, Bacon and Bangers is the newest member of the stewed! family and will be available through ocado.com from April 2012 (RRP: £3.79). As with all stewed! variants, it is an inspired, original recipe by Leiths-trained chef-founder Alan Rosenthal.
With cowboy supper-under-the-stars top notes and a Great British breakfast base, it combines real baked haricot beans with smokey bacon lardons, chunks of gluten-free, British pork sausage and hunks of mushroom; all steeped in molasses and shot through with spices. For when only a cooked breakfast will do … which, let’s face it, covers most occasions.
Tuck in at the desk for those mornings when the alarm didn’t go off, freeze in for a lazy standby supper with mash, heat effortlessly over the gas stove for a glamping brunch; or stick a couple of pots in your rucksack as the perfect festival fodder to counter the Mojito tent fallout.
Put it in your diary …
