This is my go-to breakfast for all seasons. It takes five minutes to make, and two of the ingredients are pantry staples, so as long as I have some bread, it’s a no brainer. A whole grain (bread) + a plant protein (tahini) + a fermented vegetable (sauerkraut) = a whole handheld meal that will take me to lunch and beyond.
INgredients to serve one
One slice of sourdough or other unyeasted bread
2-3 tablespoons organic tahini
1-2 tablespoons raw (unpasteurized), organic sauerkraut, locally made if possible
A few sprigs frisée or other leafy green for garnish
Process
Slice the bread. If it is a few days old, steam it in a steamer basket in a pot with two inches of boiling water for about one minute, until it is soft and smells fresh.
Spread the tahini on the bread.
Cover with sauerkraut and a few sprigs of frisée or any other leafy green.
Vegetables for Breakfast is a blog, a book and a way of transforming the way you eat. Eating veggies for breakfast can change your relationship with food by changing the way you absorb, digest and metabolize food. For one year, from June 19, 2013 until June 19, 2014, I posted the vegetable dish I served for breakfast, almost daily. Since June 19, 2014, I have been posting monthly and sometimes post the whole breakfast: the vegetable dish accompanied by a grain and (often) a plant protein.
I loved Ms. Nancy’s cooking class so much.! I have been in this cooking class for two years and I would love to sign up for another one. I tried a lot of new foods like winter squash, cardamom, Brussels sprouts and kale. My favorite salad was the kiwi, carrot, radish salad.
Not only did we cook and eat, we also did labs about food. We used rulers to measure the size of plants. We also explored stone fruits and their ripe season. Now in my house we have window boxes and I am growing cherry tomatoes and basil.
I learned that we can use a lot of different tools to cook, not just our hands and senses. We used safety knives, potato peelers and a carrot sharpener (I wonder if you could sharpen a pencil with it?) !!!
Because of this class I can help papi make dinner and I will try any new food at least once to see if I like it. Thank you, Ms. Nancy for making cooking fun and interesting and helping me be excited about food.
