This is a delicious quick summer stir fry with only five core ingredients. The fresh broccoli, tomato and red onion give this dish enough flavour that you hardly need any additional spices to prepare a tasty meal.
I originally made this stir fry with bacon, then with vegetarian bacon, and now I switch between Vivera bacon and their Greek Style shawarma. Both options are tasty and it just depends on what you’re in the mood for or what’s available in the store! The trick is to cut everything else into really bite-sized pieces so that it doesn’t take long to stir fry.
Despite the fact that we fry the potato in this dish, it is different from the baked potato dish I shared earlier. This is a quick stir fry so we make sure that the pan is hot enough and that the potatoes only need to be in the pan for a few minutes to crisp up!
