Whoa! I was inspired!
A few nights ago I had a rough night of slumber- or rather lack of it. About 9
AM I went in to “Shut my eyes for a bit” and as soon as my head hit the pillow
my mind shifted in to high gear and wanted to try the food presented here.
First, I had a few sweet potatoes around. My daughter bought
them for one of her projects, and then she never used them, so they are on
their way out. I rode with her on her way to buy new running shoes and our topics
of discussions were great food and what we had in the house, the sweet potatoes
were the topic.
Maybe that was on my mind when I tried to nap- but anyway, I
was inspired. I raced to the kitchen and started boiling the spuds. Here is
what I did:
Two medium sized sweet potatoes, diced small and boiled
with:
2 ½ cups water (just enough to cover the potatoes) 1/3 cup
of Frank’s Hot Sauce in the water.
My theory was is to flavor the potatoes so they come into
the recipe a little different. It WORKED! After they were cooked, they tasted
spicy, but not overwhelming. I cooked
them until they were starting to get soft, but not too soft. A little crunchy
on the inside.
While the potatoes cooked I diced a half a package of celery
hearts. A lot! But hear me out.
I mixed ½ cup Veganaise with 2 tablespoons of organic yellow
mustard. To that I added ½ tablespoon of parsley, ½ tablespoon of oregano, and
½ cup cilantro. Then I folded in the potatoes and celery.
The result was crunchy, and delish!
Part 2:
The burgers!
I wanted black bean burgers, but was out of black beans. I
used a can of white Cannelli beans.
I shredded some sweet baby carrots, about 2 cups worth.
Added that to the Cannelli beans and mashed away. To that I added 1/3 cup
potato starch and 1/3 Bob’s gluten free pancake mix, and ¼ cup Frank’s Hot ketchup. I mixed together and it came out
thick. I fried the “burgers” in coconut oil.
So that’s my lunch! It was GOOOOOOODDDDDD!!!!
