For more flavor, cook the bulgur wheat in fat-free chicken broth. Cilantro (US)/coriander (UK) can also give it an exotic touch.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Follow the directions on the package to cook the bulgur wheat. Wash the tomatoes and cut off the tops (but keep them handy). Empty out the tomatoes and keep the pulp.
Peel the mushrooms and onion before dicing them. In a mixing bowl, stir together the cold bulgur wheat, tomato flesh, mushrooms, onions, beaten egg, salt, pepper and cilantro/coriander. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture. Bake for 30 minutes before serving.
Twenty minutes is all you need to make this crustless quiche. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes before serving.
Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Place the spinach into a saucepan and cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and the yogurt.
When the spinach is cooked, strain it before pouring it into a mixing bowl with the grated cheese. Mix well and pour the mixture into a quiche pan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Make sure to keep your eye on it. The quiche should be firm before you take it out of the oven. Enjoy!
Before enjoying your chicken wraps, they’ll take 20 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook.
You can add some flavor to the yogurt with a drizzle of olive oil and some mustard.
Cut the chicken into strips. Wash and dry off the lettuce leaves. Do the same with the tomatoes before dicing them. In a frying pan, brown the chicken pieces in coconut oil over medium heat. Let them cook for about 10 minutes (until brown), then remove it from the heat. In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, mustard, salt and pepper.
Heat up the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds, then spread them with the yogurt sauce. Top with a lettuce leaf, some chicken and tomato slices. Roll up the wraps and serve immediately. They’re best when served still warm.
