My favourite breakfast!
Pan fried chorizo and halloumi with homemade smashed avocado, lime pickled red onion and homemade sweet chilli tomato jam served in a warm ciabatta.
Jam takes about 1 hour to make (preferably the night before and let it set), everything else on the day- around 20 mins

No, mine come on chilli plants, and ****ing hot they are too. I can highly recommend growing chillies. Try " Apache" variety as can be grown indoors in sunny spot and produces loads of medium to hot chillies. Alternatively get a bright red chilli from supermarket and plant the seeds. Great fun.

I've got some Carolina Reapers and 'ghost scorpions' growing at the mo. Last time I did them (along with Nagas) they were f***ing hot
 
I also grow chilli’s but I’ve ****ed em up this year. Put ‘em out to harden one day in may that was meant to be overcast and it ended up being a scorcher, sunburned the bastards. Put ‘em back weeks. They’re just growing some proper foliage now.

Mine are similar, but just starting to bud a little

That looks stonking; do you use a pizza stone in your conventional oven or do you have a wood burner/pizza oven outside?

Thanks. I have a gas fired Gozney roccbox (superior to cheaper imitators), and it’s honestly probably the best thing I’ve ever bought. These reach 500 Celsius and cook a pizza in about 60 seconds, it’s impossible to do a proper Neapolitan style with the big fluffy crust in a conventional oven.

I currently have a 2nd generation Uuni (wood pellet fired) and agree about dedicated pizza oven vs regular oven. I'm hoping to upgrade this year, possibly to a Gozney dome dual fuel
