Onion-Vegie Quiche

Quiche Crust

When making the Cauliflower-Walnut "Meatballs", converting some of the recipe into a quiche crust felt doable. (A pizza crust with a seed paste and sliced tomatoes would be awesome too I think.) Anyway, I greased a pie dish with coconut oil and dusted it with garbanzo bean flour in hopes that the pie wouldn't stick. And then I pressed a wad of "dough" into the pan to form a uniform basin.

Quiche Filling

4 eggs, beat well
1 large onion, sliced small
5-10 cherry tomatoes sliced small and/or tiny bits of dried tomatoes
10 sesame leaves, scissored finely
1 stalk celery, finely sliced in moons
1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
sea salt

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes. This was a shallow dish quiche so I didn't want to overcook the eggs but wanted the crust done. With this in mind, I baked the crust first for 10 minutes and then added the egg and vegie mixture and baked everything together the remaining 25 minutes.

Bittermelon Okinawan Style

According to my health-conscious Philippina friend, bittermelon is very nutrition, especially for women as it's iron-rich. Well, what female doesn't need bittermelon ... but a word of caution for the unsuspecting, the vegie ... is ... very ... bitter. I actually like it, but I'm not going to eat it like I would a cucumber, although it goes very nicely raw mixed equally with cucumber. In that kind of salad, I grate the bittermelon and cut the cucumber in thin rings. With some cherry tomatoes or a little lemon juice and salt, it's quite the nice salad. This recipe I bumped into online and just wanted to try it. I prefer not to cook my vegies if I can help it, but hey, an experiment today ["today" being a month ago]. Bittermelon with Egg and Onions Bittermelon with egg and onions, also called goya chanpuru in Japanese, and it is an Okinawan delicacy. I was telling my Philippina friend about it because she introduced me to this exotic healthy "treat...

Sprouted Lentil Crackers

For 6 days after soaking a 1/2 cup of lentils overnight I allowed them to sprout in a plastic collander covered lightly by a silk-like cloth. At least twice a day I rinsed the lentils (it's winter so I don't need to rinse them so often to keep them fresh). Because my apartment is cool and my pantry with large slightly opened window where I sprout cooler, it took longer than usual for the lentils to sprout and grow, but I didn't need to worry so much about e.coli forming, which is more likely to happen in hotter weather. So after 6 days when the sprouts were growing into a tangle, I found some time to finally make some crackers. Long ago I made some lentil crackers , which turned out really good, so since I was planning a weekend train trip, I thought some crackers for nibbling on the train or when hiking would be nice. And, yup, they were pretty tasty ... although I have to admit, the lentil crackers I ma...
