Prebiotic leek and egg skillet

This dish is the gut flora's best friend. Leek fibres (inulin) serve as a 'prebiotic', i.e., provide food for good bacteria, while sauerkraut is the 'probiotic' itself, with live flora. Eating them together achieves a symbiotic effect, all in the form of a filling, protein-rich breakfast or dinner.

Instructions

1

Slice the leek, crush the garlic. Sauté them in olive oil over low heat until soft.

Tip: Low heat spares the leek's valuable fibres and prevents the oil from burning.
2

When the leek is soft, add the sauerkraut, and mix through, but don't fry for long. Make small wells for the eggs.

Tip: Due to protecting heat-sensitive bacteria, only just warm the cabbage.
3

Crack the eggs into the wells, salt and pepper. Put the lid on, and steam until the white sets, but the yolk is still creamy.

Tip: In the steam, the top of the egg cooks too without needing to flip [steaming].
4

Serve with fresh chopped parsley and a spoonful of cold sour cream.

Tip: The Vitamin C in the fresh herbs helps iron absorption.

Can I heat the sauerkraut?
