Greens Eggs and Hash
Kale is one of those vegetables that you can tell is good for you because it tastes awful if you cook it wrong. It taunts me because I want to like it, but it's chewy and bitter and makes fun of me when I make it, then have to choke it down out of a mix of guilt and obligation.
Today, I have overcome kale's reign of terror.
I adapted this recipe into something a little bit healthier, a little bit more carb-friendly, and a LOT easier. This recipe takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, and it's legitimately good. Like tasty. Like something you'll actively want to eat, not feel like you should eat.
Victory!
Ingredients
1/2 medium sweet potato
1 cup frozen kale
10 frozen Brussels sprouts
Olive oil for pan-frying (about 1 tbsp)
Salt & pepper to taste
2 eggs
Frank's Redhot Sauce (optional, but recommended)
Instructions
- Place the kale into the steamer. Start steaming it right away so that it doesn't get all uppity later.
- Peel the sweet potato and cut it into smallish cubes - maybe 1/2" x 1/2" x 1".
- Place sweet potato and Brussels sprouts in your steamer with the kale.
- Steam 10-15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
- When the steaming's maybe 3 minutes away from done, heat olive oil in a small frying pan.
- Crack two eggs into the pan, side-by-side.
- Add a splash of water and cover the pan for 2-4 minutes, or until the egg whites have cooked through but the yolk is still runny (you can cook it longer or puncture the yolk if you're wrong and don't like gooey eggs).
- While those are cooking, dump the veggies into two cereal bowls. Season lightly with salt and less lightly with black pepper.
- Serve the eggs on top of the veggies. Top with Frank's if you're awesome.
