KitchenDaily and Gail Simmons show you how to use foods you already have in your pantry to make easy, delicious recipes.

In this episode of the Pantry Project, Gail shows viewers how quinoa — a highly nutritious whole grain — can be used in savory recipes like

 
 
Quinoa is a whole grain that’s packed with protein and fiber. It comes in a variety of colors including red, yellow and black. Once cooked, it can be used in a variety of ways. In this video, she demonstrates how to make the one of her favorite breakfasts: Quinoa Cakes with Mushrooms, Bacon, and Sunnyside Fried Eggs. She begins by quartering button mushrooms and sautéeing them, then moves on to making the cakes. She adds cooked quinoa, flour, garlic, Parmesan and lightly beaten eggs to a bowl, then stirs everything together until it forms a dough-like consistency. She molds the cakes using a measuring cup, then pan fries them in canola oil. Once the cakes are done, she fries two eggs in the same pan. Once they are finished, she plates the eggs atop the cakes and serves the dish with crispy bacon and fresh chives.

  •  
    • 2 pounds grass fed flank steak 
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Stuffing (gluten free)
    • 1 cup cooked quinoa
    • 1/4 cup organic extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/3 cup rough chopped roasted organic red peppers
    • 1/3 cup rough chopped pitted Kalamata olives
    • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely grated on a microplane
    • 1/4 organic red onion, finely minced
    • 1/4 teaspoon heaping teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1/4 cup lightly packed fresh organic flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Combine quinoa, red peppers, chopped parsley, olives, peeled garlic, red onion and pepper flakes. Stir well and set aside.

Place the steak on your board so the grains are vertical. Make a horizontal cut from the right hand side slicing almost all the way through but leaving a one-inch border on the left hand side. Open the top flap up like a book. Season the inside with salt and pepper. Spread the quinoa stuffing evenly over the steak then roll it up right to left (this way the grains of the meat should be running lengthwise so when you make slices it cuts across the grain). Secure the rolled steak with 4 separate pieces of kitchen twine about an inch apart. Season the steak on the outside with salt and pepper.

Heat an outdoor grill or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steak on all four sides, turning every 4-5 minutes until it is well charred all over. Using an instant read thermometer cook the steak until it reaches an internal temp of 140 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 8-10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.

  •  
    • 2 cups cooked quinoa 
    • 2 organic eggs, lightly beaten
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I substitute gluten free rice flour)
    • 1 clove organic garlic, peeled and finely grated (use a microplane of possible)
    • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
    • 1/4 cup coconut oil
    • 4-6 strips of bacon (I sub chicken/turkey bacon) I don’t do pork….
    • 2 organic eggs, for frying
    • 2 cups quartered white button mushrooms
    • 1 tablespoon finely sliced organic chives

Directions

In a large mixing bowl combine quinoa, eggs, Parmigiano, flour, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined then form into 4 large cakes (just like crab cakes). Heat a large non-stick saute pan and add vegetable oil. Once hot, gently place cakes in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning regularly. Once golden brown and crispy remove from pan and set aside to drain on a paper towel. Season with salt.

Fry bacon in pan for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Add a little more olive oil to the pan and brown mushrooms – 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate non-stick pan fry 2 eggs in a little vegetable oil, about 3-4 minutes on one side – yolks should still be soft.

To assemble, place quinoa cakes on plate, top with mushrooms, bacon slices and a fried egg. Sprinkle with sliced chives.

Urgent! CNN Headline Story on Toxins

By on Jun 5, 2010 in Toxins | comments(0)

LISTEN UP friends, doctors and families, do not miss CNN sat and Sunday local time  5 pm  called TOXIC AMERICA   go to www.cnn.com/toxicamerica as they are preaching the ten Americans video and had the head of EWG   on as a guest and it was great graphics about the garbage the fetus is swimming in.  Share this with ALL you know…. 

I have been preaching for several years now about the toxins that are swallowing us up….I know some of you get tired of my preaching!!!  These CNN reports will shake you to your bones and hopefully get you on your backside to LISTEN UP….
 
Dr Oz today Friday, June 4, did a great show on pesticides and herbicides….The fresh fruits and veggies are coated with pesticides and herbicides UNLESS you are eating ORGANIC….Our toxic world is killing us….I’m working with a patient right now who all their lives lived in a town that had smelters….today she is full of Cancers, heavy metals AND ARSENIC….Between the foods, water and smelters this whole town has more, than you care to know, Cancers…..Now get this, the damn companies which turn this town into a Cancer pit is telling the towns people that it is cleaned up and they have nothing to fear….WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtt….????????? These people didn’t fall off the turnip truck yesterday…..Do these companies really think these people are stupid????
I’m trying to encourage them to file a “class action suit”….
 
Enough is enough of the companies spewing toxins all over the world and NOT taking responsibility for the lives that have been lost and the heartache that has been caused from the loss of lives…We the People NEED TO  RISE UP and begin bringing lawsuits against them…
 
They can use their damn bottom-line to pay for the medical expense of these poor folks AND pay for cost of moving them to a safe environment….
 
This isn’t DOOM and GLOOM….this is serious business and WE THE PEOPLE CAN  STAND UP AND NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!
 
IF consumers STOP buying the toxic foods, then the industry will change….If we start filing class action lawsuits against the companies that are creating our toxic world, it will stop….Join groups…..better yet form your own neighborhood groups to educate and bring awareness against our TOXIC WORLD….
 
At least we have a fighting chance by getting on a good daily detox program……The FIGHT protocol is a good beginning……what ever protocol you begin DO IT NOW and teach others the dangers if they don’t…
 
Regards,
Linda or Angel
