Sometimes breakfast’s can be hard to work in some speed foods, you want something that is going to compliment whatever it is you are having.
Breakfast for me is usually eggs or sausage or a similar good source of protein. So this syn free Balsamic Tomatoes and Spinach goes really well with either.
For the tomatoes, I use a handy little tomato peeler, it means I haven’t got to blanch the tomatoes first to remove the skin.
It works a little different than a regular potato peeler, in that it has serrated teeth, so grips the skin as it peels it off. Genius!! It is great or kiwi too, or anything soft with a skin that you want to peel.

The best thing of all is that you can make this up in advance and then store in a container in the fridge. It is delicious served hot or cold. I like it cold with my homemade sausage patties or warmed up when served with eggs (either scrambled, poached or fried).
It is also gluten free, dairy free and suitable for those following paleo or Whole30.

September 30, 2016 at 6:20 pmHi to make this easier would chopped tomatoes or plum tomatoes work? Also in what qty? One tin? Sounds gorgeous!

January 29, 2018 at 10:52 amHi Eleanor, yes this should freeze fine, I recommend just adding in a little stock of water when reheating.

July 1, 2018 at 5:19 pmHello, just starting SP tomorrow and checking out some recipes on here. This looks amazing! Just wondered, for the spinach, does this need to be fresh or could it be frozen?
