Savory Breakfast

Cheesy breakfast potato scramble

This is a hearty breakfast, great for celebrations.  If you like vegan sausage, this is a good one to add it to, but it’s not missing if its not added.  Guacamole or chopped  chives would be a fabulous adornment but not necessary.

1 bunch dandelion greens chopped

1 russet potato chopped small

Steam the potato pieces, and once done, put them in a bowl.  Put the greens in the steamer for just a few minutes enough time that they just barely wilt. 

Cheesy sauce:

½ cup nutritional yeast

1 cup water

1 ½ tsp Dijon

½ tsp of salt or kelp ‘salt’

dash of zesty spice (ground lemon)

dash of pepper

1 tbsp of tapioca starch (this gives it’s stringy cheese texture)

1 ½ tsp braggs

‘Scrambled Eggs’

1 lb tofu

½ tsp sage

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

¼ tsp basil

½ tsp turmeric

1 tomato chopped.

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic

1 ½ tsp brags

Saute the garlic and onion in 2 tbsp of water until onion is rather clear.  Mix tofu and seasonings in another bowl and then add to the pan.  Cook until hot.  Add chopped tomato to end. 

These dishes can be served side by side or mixed, based on preference. 

Gluten-free banana bread

This recipe came out a little more complicated than perhaps I would have liked, however, the ingredients I had on hand needed a little assistance to balance the tastes.  Using flours other than wheat, can give the bread a grainy or other interesting flavors that need a bit of adjustment in some cases. It's possible that by only using sorghum flour, many of the flavor adjustments and sweeteners could be reduced.

Banana Bread:
3 mashed bananas
1/2 cup of oil
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp of ground flax seed per 3 tbsp of water for 1 egg)
1/3 cup agave
3/4 cup of garbanzo bean flour
1 cup of sorghum flour
2 tbsp of tapioca starch mixed with 1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of whole oats
1/4 cup of sucanat ( or sugar)
1/4 cup of lucuma powder
1 T cinnamon
1/2 tsp baobab powder (optional or tamarind paste could be used)
1 tsp vinegar

Mix all of the wet ingredients together.  Mix the dry ingredients separately and then add them to the wet ingredients.  Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes.
