We went out for a very late lunch/early dinner yesterday and had something at

the restaurant that would translate well for sprouts too.  It was green beans

with carrot striips and zucchini strips (very narrow like little carrot 

strips.  Not sure how they get them that small as not like a peel of carrot or

zucchini.  Had seasoning and was sort of like a stir fry of veggies and was

very good.  It was undersome orange chicken.  It probably picked up a bit of

orange and orange rind (very think like other) and just on top.  But when I was

eating it (all strips in same direction) I thought how good it was and how nice

some sprouts would be on top.  Iassume it was zucchini but could have been a

bit of cucumber but I think it was zucchini.  It was good as it was though. 

That was the vegetable.  It would have been prettier on top instead of on

bottom but might have picked up more of the orange flavor.

 

I am intrigued with the last recipe mentioned with the big round loaf of

bread.  We don't have that many people but a good bun that is uncut might be

nice for one person.  Instead of feeling lik I had to eat with a fork, I might

put that cream cheese and sprouts inside a layer instead of on the top where I'd

have my fingers on it.  but it sounded so good.  I wish my husband were

interested in sprouts so we could both eat the same things.  But there may be

too much in them as he can't have potassium or it seems like anything that is

really good for a person.It is sure dfferent on dialysis.

Honestly, after making patties, putting them in sandwiches, having salads, I

myself would like to know if anyone has done other things with them. I know they

put them in green smoothies.

And besides patties, I have done stir fries using the sunnies, pea shoots and

adding zucchini and other veggies, add some garlic and onions and my on my, they

are good.

Oh, I had something new for dinner the other day. I'm all about finding new

greens to cook.

I've done the bok choy and other greens from my asian market.

But the other night I had a batch of escarole. And after cleaning thorougly and

leaving in a strainer I decided to do something a bit different.

I chopped up lots of tomatoes (these were little grape tomatoes). I added a bit

of olive oil and garlic and cooked the tomatoes well.

Then, I threw in the escarole, added a bit more Garlic paste and put a lid on

it.

I cooked it for 20 minutes on low. I then took the cover off and blended all the

ingredients so they all mixed. Smelled wonderful.

Well, when I tasted it I said " wow, another good one " .

So the next time I make escarole that way, toward the end of the cooking cycle,

I'm throwing in the pea shoots and any other shoots I have.

I'm calling it steamed escarole tomato shoots!!

eat, and only because of health concerns not previously known. I would really

appreciate some of you sharing your favorite ways to incorporate sprouts into

your diets. Since I don't really know how to cook, I'm not very creative about

what to do with these things beyond putting in salads. I will try Melody's

sprout patties once I have some sprouts to use. Thanks.
