Why this works
A protein-rich, savoury dish that is relatively low in carbohydrate but fairly high in fat and salt, depending on the mince used.
High-quality protein. Mince and eggs provide all essential amino acids, supporting muscle repair and satiety.
Iron, zinc and B vitamins. Beef mince is a good source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12, which support energy metabolism and red blood cell production.
Vitamin A and phytonutrients. Carrots contribute beta-carotene, while onions add useful plant compounds; fibre is modest overall.
Method
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the mince. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it begins to brown and release its fat.
- Add the onions and carrots to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until the onions soften and the carrots start to tenderise.
- Season with salt and black pepper, then continue cooking until the mince is fully browned and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Make 4 small hollows in the mince mixture and crack an egg into each one.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook gently for 4-6 minutes, until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Serve straight from the pan while hot.
