I like eating hash with my Collie


Yep, that'll be it...Hash Brown Brekkie made with Cauliflower (eaten with Bobi Bingo my Welsh Collie)

Here's a veggie, lovely, healthy, easy, low carb, makes you full breakfast recipe for something a bit different.

Chop finely, some Cauliflower (I ate a whole one to myself, this morning in mine!) and an Onion  and place in the skillet with a little oil

Don't stir ( you want it to brown) and cook for 5 mins on medium heat

Then add some smoked paprika, black pepper and plenty of salt, squeeze of lemon juice,
garlic (yes, even for breakfast, it's really good for the soul ) 
give it a stir
You could add anything here...cumin, ras el hanout, harissa whatever you fancy.
Try grating zest of a lemon or some Tahini one day...
Then add a small splash of water 

Cook for a few more minutes 
For as long as you want, longer for mush, less for crunchy.
Fry an Egg
Then serve with the egg and chopped Parsley or any herbs you have. I used Coriander here

Mwynhewch/Enjoy with a nice coffee and resist the bread for no carb..or in fact....just have a slice of nice sourdough or spelt bread smeared with copious amounts of salted Welsh butter...you only live once

love from the hash eating collie and me

Glass Pot Noodle - to fly out of the house with!

Haia- su'ma'i? How do you do?

Here's an easy, fast and healthy Pot Noodle recipe for you mob always on the go!

You just fill this glass jar/ tupperware / pyrex..anything that can take hot water...fill it with goodness and add hot water when you need it....in work...up a mountain...(water from a flask of course!) anywhere really.
I don't measure anything I cook...I simply make it up, and continually taste it as I go along.
Throw anything in... Kale, broccoli, green beans, spring onion , red onion, sprouting beans, spinach, fennel, chicken, tofu, smoke tofu etc - no rules and no need for frantic shopping just use what you have.

You will need

pot/jar/pyrex/tupperware ...anything that takes hot water.

Rice noodles (or soba or Egg noodles  again whatever you have...but the rice is good as it's guilt free and gluten free)
1 star anice (it looks so beautiful in the glass!)
Miso paste
Good quality vegetable stock
Tom yam paste (optional!)
Chilli paste (opsiynol!)
Soya sauce
Furikake (if you have it) sesame seeds or nigella seeds are fine too
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furikake
Here's a picture of the ones I used..you can get them from independent health food shops or Chinese supermarkets 


You will also need a protein like Tofu or Smoked Tofu or Chicken(cooked)


Then you need your veg...kale/spring onion/peas/spinach etc
Then mountains of fresh herbs
Mint
Basil
Dill
Basil or whatever's growing
and
a wedge of LIME

Method

-Cook noodles like it says on the packet then rinse immediately under cold water

-Make a paste with the Miso/TomYam/soya sauce/chilli paste, and Bouillon (veg stock)
If you're panicking ...it's roughly ... 2 spoonfuls  of Miso/2 spoonfuls  of tom yam/big glug of soya sauce/ 2 spoonfuls of the stock powder / 1 spoon of chilli paste and stir or whisk...if you don't like the spice then add less of chilli, or MORE etc-  Taste it!!!
- Chop all your Veg/Leaves and herbs


Assemble and Build

- start with your Noodles in the bottom
-then spoon in the paste
-then your Tofu (Protein)
-then your Veg
-then place your star anise gently against the glass like a decoration in a window
-now add your herbs
-sprinkle the Furikake or seeds
-place a lime wedge on the top then close your jar with a contented smile!

When you are ready to eat it, take the lime out, pour in hot water, stir and leave for 3 mins, then squeeze the lime in, then eat and be smug with some nice wooden chop sticks x x x x 

Lots of love from the 9Bach kitchen... where I am supposed to be songwriting and not COOKING!!!
