Serves 4
650g sweet potato, skin scrubbed, coarsely grated
2 tbsp coconut flour
6 eggs (organic or biodynamic if possible)
coconut oil, for cooking
8 rindless bacon rashers
1 avocado, sliced
lemon wedges, to serve
Combine the sweet potato, flour and two of the eggs in a large bowl. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Heat a 20-centimetre non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add a little coconut oil to the pan and swirl to melt and coat the base. Press one-quarter of the sweet potato mixture firmly into the pan to cover the base. Cook for four minutes or until firm underneath and the top has just set. Slide the sweet potato out of the pan onto a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining sweet potato mixture until you have four hash browns.
Meanwhile, heat another large non-stick frying pan over a medium–high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, for three minutes. Crack the remaining eggs into the pan and cook, sunny side up, for two minutes or until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.
Place a hash brown on a thick napkin. Top one half with bacon, egg and avocado. Squeeze over some lemon wedges. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Fold the other half over the top to enclose slightly and then serve.

1 kg pork shoulder, rind attached
2 tbspground cumin
2 tbsp ground coriander
2 tbspsweet paprika
4 large red onions, thickly sliced
200g red cabbage, very thinly shredded

Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced.
Rub the flesh side of the pork shoulder with the combined ground cumin, ground coriander and sweet paprika. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Place the onions in a large, heavy-based roasting pan. Rest the pork, skin side down, on the onions in the pan. Cover with a sheet of non-stick baking paper, then two pieces of foil.
Bake for threehours or until the meat falls apart and will flake easily when shredded with two forks. Remove from the oven and stand, covered, for 10 minutes to rest. Remove and discard the pork rind and any excess fat. Leaving the pork in the pan, shred the flesh with two forks, then toss through the pan juices and onion. Cover to keep warm.
Combine the cabbage, fennel, fennel fronds and coriander leaves.
Top the warm tortillas with the shredded pork mixture, cabbage mixture, avocado, tomato and chilli. Serve with lime cheeks.
