I gave up doing my weekly newsletter because that, along with a daily blog, was more than I could handle. I did promise subscribers that I would bring into the blog some of the features they liked best about the newsletter, one of which was recipes. I don’t create recipes myself really (you know, I guess I do, like everybody who likes working with food, but I’ve never written one of them down). <\/p>\n

Anyway, I mostly pass recipes on, and I’d like to do that today with a “spinach scramble.” I enjoyed a version of this dish—I enjoyed it <\/i>a lot<\/i>—at the beautiful Stanford Inn by the Sea<\/a> in Mendocino, California, when I was out there weekend before last for the Vibrant Living Expo<\/a>. And thanks to a Twitter contact<\/a>, I’ve been led to a video of this simple recipe done by the charming raw food chef Ani Phyo, author of Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes<\/a>. <\/i>This is such a great dish because most kinds of breakfasts, other than the traditional bacon and eggs, are sweet. Think about it: yogurt, a muffin or scone, cereal (usually sweetened), fruit, a smoothie — all sweet. Sometimes you just wake up and want food<\/i>, not dessert. This fills the bill in a delicious and healthy way.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ani calls her recipe “Spanish Breakfast” and it’s done in two parts. Here’s all there is to it (the instructions are mine, deduced from the video):<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Love the Chicks Pate”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1 cup almonds, dry<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup sunflower seeds, dry<\/div>\n
1\/4 tsp. sea salt<\/div>\n
1 tsp. turmeric<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup filtered water<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Blend the dry ingredients and spices until it’s a coarse meal; then mix in the water until you’ve created a paste. (By “dry” on the nuts and seeds, she means either soaked and then left to dry; or simply unsoaked. A lot of people like to soak nuts and seeds to make them more digestible and deactivate the enzyme inhibitors present in unsoaked nuts and seeds.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Spanish Scramble”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup cilantro<\/div>\n
1\/2 cup tomatoes, diced<\/div>\n
2 Tbls. scallions, chopped<\/div>\n
1 batch Save the Chicks pate<\/div>\n
Dash black pepper<\/div>\n
Salt <\/div>\n
1\/2 cup spinach per serving<\/div>\n

<\/i><\/div>\n
Mix the cilantro, tomatoes, pepper and salt into the pate. Scoop a sizable “dip” of the Spanish Scramble onto a bed of spinach. Serves two with some Scramble left over. <\/div>\n

<\/i><\/div>\n
Here’s a link to the video so you can actually see Ani preparing this: <\/div>\n
