Equipment

medium sized saucepan
slotted spoon
medium sized bowl

Ingredients

3-4 large eggs
3-4 cups kale tightly packed (use callaloo instead)
½ cho cho chopped
½ cup okra chopped
2 tablespoon all purpose seasoning
½ cup cherry tomatoes sliced
½ large avocado (pear) sliced (use a whole one, if you are not using the Caribbean ones)
2 teaspoon chives
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon pink salt

Instructions

To boil the egg

Set aside a bowl with cold water.
Place the eggs in a medium sized saucepan along with some water.
Bring the pan to a boil.
Once the water has boiled leave the eggs to cook to your desired preference.
Once the eggs have boiled to your liking, use a slotted spoon to place the boiled eggs into the bowl of cold water (this will prevent the eggs from cooking any further.)Leave to cool for a few minutes.
After the given time, remove the eggs from the water and remove the outer shell.

To cook the vegetables

To cook the kale/callaloo, fill a medium sized saucepan by ¼ with water.
Place the steaming basket inside the saucepan so it completely spreads out.
Bring the water to the boil with the lid on.Reduce the heat to medium, then place the kale/callaloo, cho cho and okra in the basket.
Steam the vegetables until they are fork tender.
Once cooked, place the vegetables in a bowl and season with the all purpose seasoning.
Arrange the boiled eggs (whole or halved) with the steamed vegetables, tomatoes and avocado (pear) on a plate.
Garnish with chives, black pepper and pink salt to taste.

Egg Preference

Notes
