ADDITIONAL RECIPES TO COMPLETE THE MEAL!
GRILLED HERBED POTATOES
1. Dice or thinly slice potatoes and place on double thickness of sprayed foil or disposable pan.
2. Season with “house” seasoning or salt and pepper to taste.
3. If you like, add chopped herbs such as chives, parsley or basil. Diced onion or sliced green onions are good too.
4. Give it a good drizzle of olive oil.
5. Seal and grill alongside egg casserole until done, about 30 minutes.
Tip: Don’t toss out white roots of green onions!
+ Place them in a little bit of water. Water should just cover roots.
+ Change water daily. In a few days, you’ll see green shoots growing out of the center. Now you have another batch of green onions!
FRESH FRUIT COMPOTE WITH MINT BASIL SYRUP
1. Place 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan.
2. Add 1 cup mint leaves and 1/4 cup basil leaves.
3. Crush herbs into sugar with a wooden spoon to release flavorful oils. Add water, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves.
4. Remove from heat, cover and let stand until room temperature to infuse flavors.
5. Strain, cover and chill.
6. Drizzle over fresh fruit. You may not need all of the syrup. It keeps, covered, in the refrigerator, up to 2 weeks.
7. Garnish with additional mint leaves and/or edible flowers.
Tip:
+ If syrup crystallizes in the refrigerator, reheat gently, then cool.
