Hillary’s “Food”

As a teenager my stepdad used to cook an elaborate meal that we called Food.  It consisted of Top Ramen noodles, a fried egg,  a buffalo patty, and salsa.  Simple, and inexpensive this was a meal that we enjoyed quite frequently, and when we heard “Food” was on the menu we knew exactly what was for dinner.

 This recipe is a replica of Food, with a much healthier spin.  You can use anything really for food- veggies, meat, eggs, noodles, rice, quinoa- whatever you have that can be put together and enjoyed!

To make 4 servings:  

• 1 cup of organic quinoa, cooked.

• 4 cups greens of choice- collards, chard, kale chopped

• I clove garlic, chopped

• 2 cups green cabbage.

• 1 tbsp coconut oil.

• 4 eggs, each fried separately.

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

• Italian spice mix as needed

• sea salt as needed

• roasted pickled peppers -find recipe in the StHealthy Dehydration and Canning Guide

• Meat of choice (optional)

Directions:

• Rinse quinoa and bring 2 cups of water to a boil. At boiling add 1 cup quinoa and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.

• While quinoa is cooking, add 1 tbsp coconut oil to sautee pan, along with chopped greens and cabbage. Sautee until soft.

• When quinoa is done, add 1/4-1/2 cup quinoa to bowl, then add sautéed veggies and 1/2 tsp (or more if you like!) EVOO.

• Fry egg, then top with egg, italian spices, salt, and pickled peppers.

• If you are adding a meat patty, lay it under the egg.

• You can add any other spices or veggies!

• Mix all tougher and enjoy this “Food” !
