DailyQuickie: Sunday GreenFry- Mizuna, Lambs Quarters, Chard, Red Carrot, Beet, Jalapeno, Garlic, Rosemary

Where: Kitchen

When: Sunday, October 23, 2011

Why: Just to clarify, a green fry has nothing to do with frying food. Instead, it is a combo of anything healthy and green in your fridge that you throw into a pan and cook into one of the easiest, healthiest dishes you can make. Plus, you are cleaning out your fridge so that those veggies that you bought last weekend don’t go to waste. You can make this a vegetarian or vegan meal, or add meat or chicken if you’d like. And here’s the best thing, your meal is a total Bites with Benefits meal and you’re only consuming about 40 calories per cup! Yes… that’s it!

What: I cooked the beets, jalapeno, garlic and rosemary with a little olive oil spray first for about 10 minutes on low heat covered. I wanted to pull the sugar out of the beets and soften them up. Then I added the carrots for another 10 minutes. Finally I dumped in all of the greens and cooked it down, with a spoon of “better than bouillon” turkey paste to bump up the flavor.
