Please check link above for more details of directions.
Ingredients:
Green bean threads vermicelli (75-100 grams before boiling) or quinoa (1/2 cup cooked)
1 butternut squash
extra virgin olive oil (or coconut oil)
fresh ground sea salt crystals
fresh ground black peppercorns
1 red onion
1 bunch green onion
3 roma tomatoes
1 bunch of mint (can replace some of the mint with equal amount parsley)
3 eggs
diced garlic (1 teaspoon)
thyme
Directions:
boil green bean threads vermicelli or cook quinoa (1/2 cup cooked)
---> for quinoa I would boil 1/3 cup water and mix in 1/6 cup or about 3 tbsps quinoa with some salt and boil on med/med-low with cover for abt 10 mins until the white spirals come out.
---> for vermicelli I would boil about 1-2 liters water and throw the vermicelli in on high with some salt and perhaps a few drops olive oil, no cover, until it absorbs the water.
1 butternut squash cut in half seeds removed, baked with peel for 30-40 minutes 230C=445F
I bake before peeling to make it easier to peel and chop.
peel and chop in cubes throw back 425 F=220 C with olive oil s&p 10 minutes (do 2 rounds for each half for even layer)
in skillet 1 chopped red onion when it wilts add s&p&1 bunch green onions chopped then add diced garlic (~2 cloves) and thyme (2tsps)
dice 3 roma tomatoes and total of 1 bunch amount mint and parsley mix, spare some mint leaves (about 1/3 or 1/4 of the bunch) separated from stem, chop remainder of stems and leaves of mint and parsley
in large bowl whisk 3 eggs s&p, add boiled green bean threads vermicelli, add 3 roma tomatoes diced add diced parsley and mint and add the red onion mix and the half-baked squash cubes
throw back in oven for 35-40 minutes at 350 F
garnish with spared mint leaves
Bon appetit!
Praise be to the Generous Bountiful Provider who offers us these nutritious and tasty foods from dumb plants, tasteless earth and ignorant water. Alhamdulillah (all praises belong to the One God)
