This morning I boiled some green beans on the stove in a small amount of salted water. After draining them in a colander, I swirled them in their original pot in a small amount of Danish Creamery butter, and pressed a clove of fresh garlic over the surface. The warmth of the saucepan will melt the butter.
Sunchokes are a vegetable that I was recently introduced to through our local farmers. I expected them to taste like artichokes, of which I am a huge fan. Instead, they remind me of homemade potato chips with a sunflower flavor. They are addictive! I couldn’t wait to make them again.
Shaped like a bulb, they resemble ginger. I sliced them width-wise, thinly, and baked them in olive oil, seasoning them with salt and pepper. They cook very quickly, and make a delicious side dish to any meal. I enjoyed them last night, for dinner, with spicy chicken wings and a vegetable salad.
What do you eat for breakfast?

That looks like a very healthy breakfast! I haven't tried sunchokes, but, I've heard that they are very good. My breakfasts vary. Today, I had an asparagus sandwich for breakfast; one of my cousins made them and they have cheese and asparagus in them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bless. I made the same meal today. Your asparagus sandwich sounds divine.
DeleteThat looks great! I love breakfast. It’s my favorite meal. I make scrambled eggs and green smoothie for myself and the kids every weekday morning. But maybe I’ll cook up some green veggies this morning to go with it! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney, Thanks for commenting. Hope you and your kids enjoy your healthy morning meals together.
DeleteBreakfast is always black coffee, no sugar, and an orange. I am intrigued now by sunchokes. I loved roasted vegetables.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting, Anita. I have coffee with cream and sugar, raw nuts, and a banana each morning. Let me know how you like them, if you try them.
DeleteYour breakfast looks good.
ReplyDeleteWe always start our day with an egg, or two, and a nice cup of tea!
All the best Jan
