Hi all! First, I must begin this post by saying…Happy August! Seriously though, is it really August already? This Summer has truly flown by. I should not even say this (please don’t hate me!), but before you know it will be Winter! :/ I think that I am ready for the holiday season, but I am definitely not ready for the cold and snow.
Second, I have to apologize, but I do not have much time/energy to chit-chat with you all today. Things have been super busy at work, I have been super busy at home, and I honestly feel a bit drained tonight (I wrote this post last night!). I wanted to share this recipe with you, though, so I am still going to post it. However, elaborate descriptions will not be happening. Please forgive me! 😉 All that I will say is that I have been loving experimenting with jicama and turnips lately, and I think that this was certainly one of my most successful outcomes.
“Healthified” Root Vegetable and “Sausage” Breakfast Hash
Servings: 1 large or 2 small
Ingredients
water, for cooking
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 large red bell pepper, diced
1 small to medium-sized turnip, chopped
1 small to medium-sized jicama, chopped
1/2 vegan “sausage” link, sliced (I used the apple and sage flavor from Field Roast)- AMAZING!
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried rosemary leaf
fine sea salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
ketchup or salsa, optional
Directions
1. Line a large skillet with a thin layer of water. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Once hot, lower the heat medium. Add garlic, onions, peppers, turnips, and jicama to the pan. Cook for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are mostly cooked through. Add additional water, as necessary, to prevent burning and sticking.
2. Stir in “sausage” and seasonings. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the “sausage” is heated through.
3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the spinach to the pan and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
4. Plate up the hash…
…and top it with ketchup (of course!) or salsa, if desired.
I hope you enjoy this unique take on breakfast hash and a fun way to utilize turnips and jicama (new-to-me veggies) in your meals!
Have a great day, everyone! It should be a good one for me. It is Friday-eve, it should be a busy day at work (which means my day should go by quickly), and I am super excited for tonight because I get to try Kitchen Table’s food after hearing great things about it, all while meeting Erin for the first time since her move to Omaha. This will be my first time meeting another blogger, which I think is really cool :).
