Ingredients

• Protein
  • 200g diced bacon

• Veggies:
  • 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
    1½ cups cabbage, grated

• Smart Carb
  • 1 large potato, grated (approx 1 cup)

• Healthy Fat
  • 2 tbsp butter

• Herbs, spices, Extras
  • ¼ tsp salt
    ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • Cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon to serve (optional)

Ingredients are based off the Sleekgeek Food List, combined together using the Sleekgeek Healthy Meal Template, and portioned out with the Sleekgeek Portion Control Guide.

Instructions

• First off, dice the bacon. You can buy a pack of diced bacon, or if you have rashers, use a knife (or kitchen scissors) to roughly chop the bacon into bite sized pieces.

• Next, grate all the veggies – start with peeling the potato, then grate using a regular grater (as pictured). Do the same with the carrot (peel, then grate). And lastly, the cabbage can either be grated or you can chop it using a knife if you find that easier.

• Place a frying pan over medium heat, add ¼ cup water and the diced bacon. Keep stirring for about 3-5 minutes until the water has evaporated and the bacon has browned and cooked. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside in a bowl.

• Place the pan back onto the stove over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt.

• Add the grated potato and stir gently (so as to not mash it completely). If you find the potato sticks to the pan, add 1-2 tbsp of water and mix. Cover the pan with the lid to allow the potato to soften for 2-3 minutes.

• Remove the lid and add the grated cabbage and carrot to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and give it all a good mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Toss the cooked bacon back into the pan, stir it in gently, and cook for a further 2 minutes.

• Remove from heat and serve as is, or with a few cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lemon.
