Magic Mixed up Mash!


Leftoverssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! And laziness. Could well be a recipe for disaster, but instead I'm finding it a recipe for healing protein Magic Mash! While recovering from some sinus surgery I'm finding easy is best and if I can get in my proteins and greens quick and simple, I'll do what I have to, even if it means eating food that looks like something it shouldn't. No elaboration required.......

Magic Mixed up Mash!: (measurements are approx)
1 cup millet
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup french lentils
1 cup leftover mixed mashed potato, yam and butternut pumpkin
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1/4 vegetable massel cube   
a few sprays of Braggs
2 tsp Olive or coconut oil for cooking

Method:
Mix all leftovers, seeds, massel cube and braggs in a bowl until nice and moshy(as usual, you can mix and match your grains and beans here. The variety I'm using is especially gentle, good for getting over colds, surgery and broken hearts!).  Heat oil in a large pan to medium-high heat, dump leftover goodness into pan and fry up until somewhat browned and crisp in places. When browned and crisp in places you are good to eat it as you please, directly from the pan or maybe serve it up with ume vinegar fried bok choy and zuchinni like I did and sit back and feel the magic healing hit you from the inside! Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Millet and Kale Krunchers!


So tell me, who doesn't like a little Krunch with your millet? Well I know I do and if you think about how good Millet is for you and how good Kale is for you, it only makes sense that they would embrace to make an amazingly delicious krunchy pattie for you to adore and treasure..

Millet and Kale Krunchers Recipe:
1.5 cups cooked millet
1 cup of chopped raw kale
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 vegetable massel cube
Tamari to taste
Coconut or Olive oil to cook (2 Tbsp or so)

Method
Mix ingredients into a lovely mosh. Heat up oil to middle medium heat and dump large spoonfuls of the mosh onto the pan. Flatten the balls somewhat and leave to sizzle and cook until the edges start to brown, around 7 minutes. Be sure to wait for the browning of the edges as the patties are prone to separating if not crisped up enough. Flip krunchers and cook other side for another 7 or so minutes. Drain on paper towel a few minutes before serving! I served mine up with a seaweed, carrot and daikon salad. This meal is so tasty, you will definately forget that it is stupidly good for you too!
