Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 3+ kinds Winter vegetables or fruits greens, carrots, onions, winter squash, citrus fruit, apples,
- 1 3.5 oz pkg Yumbini Quick Beans and Rice any flavor
- 2 Eggs or egg substitute optional, can substitute with toasted bread
- Cooking oil for frying eggs
Instructions
- Wash, cut, and prepare the vegetables or fruits as desired. Sautee in a little oil, blanch for 3 minutes in boiling water, thinly coat with oil and roast in the oven at 450℉, or leave raw. Try cutting heart or flower shapes with a knife or cookie cutter.
- Prepare Yumbini using 3/4 cup water, according to package directions. HINT: you can easily cook Yumbini in a measuring cup in the microwave.
- Create a "border" around a large plate or platter using your first vegetable.
- Spread the Yumbini in the center of the plate.
- Add a second "border" around the outside using a contrasting fruit or vegetable.
- If you want to make heart-shaped fried eggs, coat the inside of a heart-shaped cookie cutter with some cooking oil.
- Add a small amount of cooking oil to a cast iron frying pan over medium heat. Put the oiled cookie cutter into the pan.
- When the pan is hot and oil begins to shimmer, turn the heat to low and add the egg (or egg substitute).
- Cover the pan and cook on low until the egg white is set.
- Turn off the heat. Use a spatula or fork to lift the cookie cutter off the cooked egg and out of the pan.
- Add the egg to your creation on the platter. (Try heart shaped pieces of buttered toast cut with the cookie cutter if you don't want to use eggs.)
- Fry a second egg and garnish with more fruits and/or vegetables. Just play and have fun!
- Make everything fancy with a tablecloth, some flowers, or candlelight. Sit across from each other and share the plate from both sides. Enjoy and be kind to each other!
