Potatoes, Eggs & Black Bean Breakfast Scramble

drifter.journey
Vegetarian
This is one of our favorite breakfasts and we have eaten it multiple times per week, for several years. Eggs are essentially the perfect food. Tasty, nutritional, and very inexpensive. When scrambled with the satisfying starch of a potato, some black beans and your favorite hot sauce on top, you’ll look forward to having it day after day. With the cost of this meal being less than $2 per portion, you really can’t go wrong!

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz Whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Pour 4 oz of heavy cream into an 8 oz mason jar. Screw the lid tight.Shake mason jar and keep shaking. Then shake some more for approximately 15 minutes. The contents will go from liquid to hard to shake then will go to a solid. You want to hear the solids make a thunking sound against the jar for a few minutes.
  • Bravo! You made butter! Remove the solids from the jar. Don’t toss the liquid, that’s buttermilk. You can save the buttermilk and use it for other recipes, or you can discard it. I like to put a few chicken thighs into a stasher bag and add the buttermilk with salt, pepper, and herbs then allow to chill overnight. It makes super tasty buttermilk chicken.
  • Back to the butter at hand. Place the butter into a small bowl. Pour cold water over the butter and use your hands or a wooden spoon to rinse the butter, pressing out any remaining buttermilk. Discard water and repeat a few more times.Place your butter into a smaller jar or roll into a log with wax paper or plastic wrap. Keep in a cool area for three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • VARIATIONS Flavor my butter! I like salted butter, so I add a pinch of salt when I add my buttermilk to the mason jar. When done, you can add additional flavoring like fresh or dried herbs. For a sweeter variation, skip the salt, churn and rinse your butter then add honey! Oh, so good

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Eggplant
  • 1 Red onion
  • 6 Garlic cloves
  • 4 Zucchini
  • 250 g Cherry tomatoes
  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 75 g Parmesan
  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • Rosemary & thyme
  • Salt & pepper
  • Balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Cut the eggplant in small pieces. Cook in a large pot, medium heat, for about 15min, until the eggplant is very soft. Reduce the heat to low (keep it that way until the end of the recipe, it will continue to cook the ingredients slowly).
  • While waiting, heat some olive oil in a smaller pan. Chop the onion, and cook it on medium heat for about 10min. Add to the eggplant. In the large pot, add the chopped garlic, the rosemary and the thyme.
  • Repeat the same operation (10min in the small pan with a bit of oil, then add to the large pot) in that order: – Tomatoes & garlic cloves cut in half – Zucchini -small cubes – Bell pepper -small cubes
  • Add the parmesan to the large pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the chicken into small pieces, then cook it on the same pan that you use for the vegetables. Tip: if you want the chicken to be grilled, leave it for about 7 min on one side, without touching. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Done! Serve with the side of your choice (rice, quinoa, pasta etc.). You can add a bit of balsamic vinegar if you like. Bon appétit
