Method

  1. Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the pepper onto a baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil. Roast in the oven for 25 mins until soft, turning once, then allow to cool until just warm. 
  2. When the peppers have cooled peel off their skins. Whisk the egg until well beaten in a small mixing bowl, then whisk in the cottage cheese.
  3. Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in a small frying pan set over a low to medium heat and add the egg. Stir almost constantly for 2-3 mins until the eggs are scrambled and just set, then stir in the chives. Serve with the pepper strips.

Tip: Swap the cottage cheese for 30g finely chopped soft tofu if preferred. Add black beans and finely chopped peppers to this when progressing to chopped foods.
