Quick and Delicious Lunch Idea with Veggie Salad, Pan-Fried Potatoes and Fried Eggs


Hi everyone!!! One of the most beloved and quickest meals that my family have always been enjoying eating is this very simple but very delicious lunch, which I tend to prepare, I guess, quite often!!! :) :) :) I cook this type of lunches so frequently that I decided to share it with you!!! Hope you don't mind it! :) :) :) This recipe will take you about 30 minutes to prepare or even less, from preparations to the serving but, I assure you, you'll enjoy every bite of it. The crispy and crunchy salad with a bunch of pan-fried potatoes and a fried egg make a flavorful and palatable combination together. This is how the lunch turned out!!! It looks very appetizing, don't you agree with me!!! :) :) :) If you got interested, just bear with me and keep on reading the recipe!!! :) :) :) 


To make this simple but super delicious lunch you'll need the following ingredients.
For the salad:
  • cabbage ( 1 cup of shredded cabbage, I am using freshly grown seasonal cabbage; it has much tender leaves)
  • cucumber (1 small size, 1/2 of a cup chopped cucumber)
  • onion (1 small size, or 1/2 of a medium size) 
  • carrot (1 small size, or 1/2 of a medium size) 
  • beetroot (1 small size,or 1/2 of a medium size)
  • lettuce (just a few (4-5) leaves)
  • vegetable oil (1 tablespoon, use olive oil, if you like)
  • apple vinegar (1 tablespoon)
  • salt (to your taste)
  • black pepper, paprika (to your taste)
For the pan-fried potatoes:

  • potatoes (4 medium size)
  • garlic (2 cloves)
  • vegetable oil (3-4 tablespoon; you can use less if you feel like it :) :) :) 
  • salt (to your taste)
  • paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • black pepper (to your liking, I am using 1/3 teaspoon)
For the fried eggs:

  • eggs (4 medium range)
  • vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
  • salt (just a pinch)
  • paprika (just a pinch)
  • black pepper (just a pinch)
Now let's talk about how to prepare the lunch:

  • First of all you should pan fry the potatoes. Wash, peel and chop the potatoes first. Then heat a pan on a medium heat, drizzle it with vegetable oil and add the chopped potatoes. Close the lid and cook them for about 10 minutes under the medium heat.

  • Meanwhile make the vegetable salad. Shred the cabbage, chop the lettuce leaves, the onion and the cucumber. Slice the beetroot and the carrot. Season the chopped vegetables with salt and peppers and drizzle with vegetable oil and the apple vinegar. Put the salad aside till the fried potatoes are ready.

  • Meanwhile the potatoes will be halfway cooked. Season them with salt and peppers. Add the chopped garlic. If you like sautéed onions, you can add chopped onions, too. Give them a good stir and roast the potatoes with the lid open for another 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are roasting make the fried eggs. Take another pan, put it on a medium heat and drizzle with vegetable oil. When the oil heats up, crack the eggs. Season them with salt and peppers. Cover the pan with the lid and fry them for about 5-7 minutes on a low heat.

  • As you fry the eggs, don't forget about the potatoes and give them another good stir. After roasting for about 10 minutes, they must be roasted perfectly. Turn off the heat and assemble the lunch together. Voilà the lunch is ready!!! :) :) :)  
  • This is how my plate turned out! Mmmm..., that was a delicious lunch!


I hope you'll like this lunch idea as much as I do!!! Have a fabulous day! See you next time! Bye! :) :) :)
