Breakfast Curried Scramble with Apple, Onion & Potato Hash for two

leave a comment »

Ingredients

for the Hash:

  • Six Yukon Gold Potatoes Boiled (or two large boiled Russets)
  • One small onion chopped
  • Two soft apples chopped (like McIntosh, or Granny Smith work if you add a few minutes of cooking)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Butter
  • Serve with mango chutney or real maple syrup

For the eggs:

  • Four organic eggs
  • Curry Powder (I like a mild curry for this)

Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with butter. Add apples and onions and cook 5 minutes, add potatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Crisp and brown the potatoes with apples and onions 5 minutes more, then serve with a mango chutney or with a side of real maple syrup.

For the eggs you whip them in to a fluffy scramble and then add you curry powder (to taste preference) and continue whipping. Cook on low heat and scramble.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Apples

leave a comment »

  • 1 large, crisp apple, cut into bite-sized wedges
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • a couple pinches of fine-grain sea salt
  • a couple splashes of olive oil
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • a scant tablespoon of maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted and chopped
  • 12 ounces (3/4 pound) fresh brussels sprouts, washed and cut into 1/8-inch wide ribbons
  • optional- 4 ounces extra-firm wildwood brand tofu cut into tiny-inch cubes

Soak the apples in a bowl filled with water and the juice of one lemon, remove seeds.

Cook the tofu in large hot skillet with a bit of salt and a splash of oil. Saute until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, wait a few seconds, now stir in the maple syrup, and cook another 30 seconds or so. Drain the apples, and add them to the skillet, cooking for another minute. Scrape the apple and tofu mixture out onto a plate and set aside while you cook the brussels sprouts.

In the same pan (no need to wash), add a touch more oil, another pinch of salt, and dial the heat up to medium-high. When the pan is nice and hot stir in the shredded brussels sprouts. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes, stirring a couple times (but not too often) until you get some golden bits, and the rest of the sprouts are bright and delicious.
Stir the apple mixture back into the skillet alongside the brussels sprouts 1/2 of the pine nuts – gently stir to combine. Remove from heat and enjoy immediately sprinkled with the remaining pine nuts. This isn’t a dish you want sitting around, the flavors change dramatically after ten minutes or so, and I think that is part of the reason brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Even I don’t like them after they’ve been sitting around.

Serves 2 – 3 as a main, 4 as a side
