Crispy popcorn "tricken", garlic mushies and spicy hashbrowns lathered in creamy cheeze!
IN LOTR, the following conversation takes place: (yes, I'm hardcore enough to abbreviate it, if you know, you know.)
Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
Pippin: What about breakfast?
Aragorn: You’ve already had it.
Pippin: We’ve had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
Merry: I don’t think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn’t he?
Merry: I wouldn’t count on it.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Thing is Pip, I DO know about elevenses and luncheon and afternoon tea and dinner and supper and even desert!
I'm always talking about how I intermittent fast and therefore skip breakfast (and most of the other aforementioned meals much to Pippin's despair) but after a longgg time of doing this... I started to miss breakfast-like foods and decided to cross-pollinate them with different/nontraditional times! (Rebel, I am.)
So, now you basically have a meal with a breakfast component, a lunch component and a dinner component all in one fell swoop! Ta-da!
What You Need:
Breakfast: Spicy Hash
- 1 large jicama (cut into small squares)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cajun
- 1+ jalapenos (minced)
- 2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2-3 shallots (minced)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Lunch: Grilled Mushrooms with Avocado
- shitake mushrooms (or mushrooms of your choice)
- 1-2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1-2 shallots (minced)
- 1/2 red bell pepper (cubed)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- pinch of sea salt and black pepper
- 1 avocado
Dinner: Popcorn Tricken
- 2 packages of tempeh
- 1 cup gf flour
- 1/2 tsp of each: paprika, sea salt, white pepper, black pepper, oregano, basil, thyme
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- water as needed
What To Do:
- Toss the jicama squares into an air fryer with the jalapeno, shallots, garlic, spices and coconut oil
Note: my air fryer doesn't have settings so I just left them in until they were crispy! - In a big bowl, whisk the gf flour to ensure no clumps are left then mix in the dry seasonings. Add in water as needed until it becomes gooey but not too liquidy so that the tempeh will get stuck to it. You want a paste like consistency.
- Cut the tempeh into small pieces and dip them into the mixture. You have various options to cook: air fry, pan fry, deep fry or bake. I wanted to avoid tons of oil so I baked mine in the oven on 350'F until crispy HOWEVER, they would also have been really yum in my air fryer or pan fried with a bit of coconut oil, I'm not going to lie!
- Wash the mushrooms and line them up in a skillet or baking tray. Sprinkle the garlic, shallots and bell pepper on them with some sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle with some olive oil and place in the oven at 350'F for about 20 minutes.
- In another bowl, mash up the avocado and if you want to get fancy like I did, you can decorate it with some of the bell pepper.
- Serve everything warm! The hash was coated with some pili nut spicy cheeze sauce I whipped up the other day but I didn't record my recipe so I'll recreate and share that with you soon! (Until then use any vegan cheeze you have!)
- Dip the popcorn "tricken" either in the nut cheeze or hotsauce or the smashed avocado makes a great pair!
Happy all day feasting, you won't be hungry today!
I wish you yummy in your tummy!
Love and Light ✨
