Because it's Breast...........

Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.

                                                                                                                                    Thomas Aquinas


Everything is a bit crash bang wallop but that is the way of youth running into everything like a bull in a china shop. It was for me anyway. A few years on you start to see that perhaps time is required to stop and reflect a little before charging on. We still do it though brainwashed by the media, the new trend, the latest gizmo's. Perhaps it's time to stop and think.

After all you do still need to keep abreast of things............

 

I did say I'd give you something vegetarian to cook today so here it is. 

Light your joss sticks and get your bells out, you hippies.

Corn Pancake filled with Quinoa

For 2 persons

70g Fine Corn Meal

30g Flour

1 Egg

Milk, just a splash

100g Quinoa

Thyme, a sprig

1 tbsp Marmite

1 Red Pepper

300g Chopped Tomatoes

Kale, handful

2 Garlic, cloves

1Onion

50g Mushrooms

150g Brown Rice

Mix the corn meal and flour together in a bowl, add a beaten egg and moisten with milk to form a pancake batter. Cook the pancakes in the usual way in a frying pan with a little oil.

Wash the quinoa in cold water through a sieve for 15 minutes then cook until soft about 20 minutes with a sprig of thyme. Drain when cooked remove the thyme sprig and mix in the Marmite.

Put the brown rice on to cook in boiling water. Cook for about 40 minutes but can need a bit longer sometimes. Keep a lid on it and simmer it.

Peel and slice the onion, the peppers, the mushrooms and pick out the hard stalks from the kale.

Fry a pinch of onion in oil until soft add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for 20 minutes. Process with a stick blender and season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of vinegar and sugar to taste.

Fry the rest of the onion, mushroom together till soft and then add the kale but only cook for a couple of minutes keeping it crisp and green.

Fry the pepper and add the quinoa then divide among the pancakes and roll them up.

Drain the rice and arrange the pancake on the plates with the rice then spoon on the kale. Finish with the tomato sauce.

My friend thinks he is smart. He told me an onion is the only food that makes you cry, 

                                                   so I threw a coconut at his face.
