Sweet Potato Breakfast Hash

-
I may have mentioned before when you have a full CSA share you need to expand your thinking on when to eat vegetables.  They're not just for dinner.  I try to think of ways to incorporate vegetables into our weekend breakfasts.  We got sweet potatoes in our last box.  I found this recipe and adapted it for one of our breakfasts.

1/2 cup of diced onion
1/2 cup of sweet peppers
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3-4 pork sausage breakfast links, cut into pieces
2 cups shredded sweet potatoes
2 cups of spinach or any other tender greens that are available.  I used the tops from our hakuri turnips.
3-4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
shredded cheese (whatever you have available)
avocado to garnish, if available.  I didn't have any.

The quantities are very flexible for this dish.  These are just guidelines.  You can also add mushrooms if you wish.

Use a large skillet, heat and add about 2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil (Driftless Organics offers very good oil).  Sauté the onions, peppers, and sausage pieces until tender.  More oil can be added if needed. Add the sweet potatoes and sauté until tender.  Add the greens and stir into the other ingredients until they are wilted. Season with salt and pepper.  Make wells in the mixture and beak an egg into each well.  Cover the pan until the egg yolks are cooked to your liking.  Just before the eggs are finished sprinkle with cheese so that it has a chance to melt.

If by any chance, you have made some of the Roasted Pepper Spread (last recipe), a little of this on top of the hash is very tasty.

This could easily be made into a vegetarian breakfast by eliminating the sausage and if necessary the eggs.  Although I think the eggs in particular add a lot to the dish.

Fresh Amaranth (Red Spinach)

Amaranth Leaves are very similar to spinach in flavor and use. They're beautiful to look at. Its tempting to just keep the bunch as a decorative bouquet. This time I decided to use mine in Chinese Spinach Curry. This is not a perfected recipe, but I would make it again so I thought it was worth posting. Thotakura Palakura Tomato Kura 1 tablespoon peanut oil or other mild oil ¼ teaspoon each--cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves (I think the quantity of these spices should be doubled) 1 big onion - finely sliced, about one cup 2 tomatoes - finely chopped, about one cup 5 green chillies--finely chopped (I used 1 Serrano, which I seeded--5 seemed excessive for our tastes but it needed either more than 1 pepper or to leave in some of the seeds. In other words it lacked heat) 1 teaspoon - ginger garlic paste ½ tsp each- turmeric and salt 1 bunch fresh amaranth (leaves and tender stems) - finely chopped, about 5 cups 1 bunch fresh spinach - finely chopped, about 5 cups 1 can of chick...

Roasted Beets & Carrots with Couscous and Citrus Dressing

This dish can be served warm or cold, leftover the next day.  Delicious both ways.  It is a bit labor-intensive but very tasty and a good way to use some of those winter vegetables. 1# beets, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks 1/2# carrots, cut into thick coins 1/2# onions red or yellow onions or shallot, cut into chunks (a little less is fine) 1/2 cup Citrus Vinaigrette 1 cup Israeli couscous 1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped 1 large sprig of thyme, if fresh is not available sprinkle in some dry 1/4-1/2 tsp. dried chile flakes 1/2 cup salted roasted sunflower seeds (raw seeds are also OK) 1 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese Heat oven to 450℉. Toss the beets with a small amount of olive or sunflower oil, season with salt and pepper and spread on a rimmed baking sheet.  Roast for 10 minutes.  Toss the carrots and onions with oil and season with salt and pepper.  Add to the baking sheet.  Roast all the vegetable...

Celery Root, Cracked Wheat, and Every-Fall-Vegetable-You-Can-Find-Chowder

-
This soup turned out to be tastier than I expected which is why I'm including it in my blog so that I don't forget about making it again. I think it is due to the celery root puree. This makes it necessary to add another step to preparing the soup but it is definitely worthwhile.  You could substitute another grain for the cracked wheat, such as farro.  However, I happened to have cracked wheat available and it cooks quickly. 1 celeriac (celery root 3/4 - 1#) 1/2# onions, sliced (yellow or red) 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced or chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Kosher (or sea salt) and cracked black pepper 2 tablespoons olive or sunflower oil 1 cup cracked wheat Several sprigs fresh thyme if available, otherwise use dried thyme 1 stalk celery, diced -- note, I used my vegetable chopper to chop all the root vegetables so they were about a 1/2 inch dice 1 carrot, diced 1 turnip, diced (I didn't have a turnip so I used a daikon radish) 1 medium potato, unp...
