Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick cut bacon (pastured/grass-fed if you can find it)
- 1 sweet potato or yam, peeled and chopped
- 1 turnip, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 yellow or orange sweet pepper, seeded and chopped
- water or broth/stock
- 2-4 fresh eggs (they poach better)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider or white vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crisp. Let cool; chop or crumble, then set aside.
- Using the bacon grease, lard, coconut oil or grass-fed butter (like Kerrygold), heat a saute pan (that has a lid) over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, turnip, onion and sweet pepper and saute for a few minutes until the mixture begins to brown.
- Add some water or stock to the pan. It should be hot enough that it begins to steam. Put the lid on the pan and let the vegetables cook until tender (the sweet potatoes will take longest. check them with a fork to make sure they are soft). You may add more liquid if necessary. Be sure to stir it around so the vegetables don't stick or burn.
- While the vegetables are cooking, put a small saucepan filled 2/3 full with water on the stove and bring to a simmer. Add the vinegar. Do not bring to a full boil. When the water is just simmering, drop in your eggs carefully by a large spoon or measuring cup, one at a time. They will spread a bit and some foam will rise to the top of the water- that is normal.
- Cook until your desired doneness- 6-7 minutes for a runny yolk, 8-10 for soft cooked yolk and longer for a hard cooked yolk. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let them drip dry.
- To plate, mix the bacon with the vegetables and transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl. Top with the poached egg and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
