Breakfast ideas: speedy fry-up without the frying

Tuesday, 3 April 2012 12:00 PM

A new quick-cook breakfast gives you the option of a “hearty fry-up” without the fry, without the washing up and without such a strain on your heart. Beans, Bacon and Bangers is 325 calories and the newest member of the stewed! range of products.

It is gluten-free and provides two of your five-a-day recommended portions of vegetables. The savoury recipe is ready to eat in three minutes and the one-pot packaging also means less washing up.  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 smoky bacon lardons, chunks of British pork sausage and hunks of mushroom, cooked in molasses and spices.

The stewed! range is available from Ocado.com, with Beans, Bacon and Bangers priced at £3.79.
