Kale, pepper, tomato and cashew scramble FAQ:

What can I substitute for cashews in this scramble?

You can use other nuts such as almonds or walnuts, or for a nut-free option, try sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Adjust the quantity as needed to ensure balanced flavor.

How long can I store leftovers of the scramble?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

What should the texture of the scrambled eggs be when done?

The eggs should be softly scrambled and slightly creamy, not dry. They should be fully cooked but still moist when you remove them from the heat.

Can I use frozen kale or peppers instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen kale or peppers. However, ensure they are thawed and drained of excess moisture before cooking to avoid a watery scramble.

What size skillet works best for this recipe?

A medium-sized non-stick skillet (about 8–10 inches) works best for even cooking and to prevent overcrowding when scrambling the eggs and vegetables.

Tips:

- Use fresh, organic ingredients for the best flavor and nutrition.

- Preheat the pan before adding coconut oil to ensure even cooking.

- Chop the vegetables uniformly so they cook evenly.

- Feel free to add other vegetables or spices to customize the dish to your preference.

- Toast the cashews lightly before adding to enhance their flavor.
