Vegeterian Tips: Eat a dark green vegetable broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens at least three times a week. These nutritional powerhouses are packed full of vitamins such as calcium and iron. On the run or hate spinach? Try drinking your greens. I recommend Naked Juice s Green Machine its made with fruit juice as well as greens, so it tastes better than others.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- Four medium sized red potatoes with skins on, washed and quartered (I had to remove some blemishes from mine; other than that I left them intact)
- 1/2 can white hominy (no kidding)
- 1-2 large stalks red kale (the stalks I got at the co-op were huge), torn (or chopped) into bit-sized pieces
- 1/2 packet miso soup (dry mix – instant miso)
- garlic powder (I forgot to saute some garlic, so I used the powder)
- black pepper
- smidgeon of tamari and/or vinegar
Directions:
This recipe came about when I was pawing through the refrigerator trying
to figure out something substantial but quick for dinner. Here”s what
I ended up with.
Cook the potatoes until they are beginning to soften. Add the chopped up
stalks of kale to the potatoes and cook until both are soft (or to your
liking). Drain the potato/kale mixture. Reserve some water and
do what you will with the rest. I saved this water to feed
my plants; they always perk up nice with veggie water. Put the potato/kale
mix back in the pan. Add the hominy. Begin mashing with a potato
masher. Add some of the reserved potato water or soy milk to get them
to the proper consistency. Add the miso soup mix, tamari/vinegar, garlic
powder, pepper to taste. I used the miso soup mix because my mother
gave me a box with 8 packets in; I don”t really like soup, so I use
the dry mix instead of simply salting my food.
