i made up a thing the other day that makes me outrageously happy every time i eat it. i call it creamy crunchy spring green bowl.
i described it to artemis via text like this:
- i started off by cooking one cup of white quinoa with a few peeled garlic cloves
- while that was cooking, i got out a big bowl and poured in a pound of shelled edamame (i had a bag of frozen beans from trader joe's in the freezer)
- and tore some raw russian kale from the tough stems into it
- and crumbled a block of feta
- when the quinoa was done, i poured it hot into the bowl and stirred everything up
- including mashing the cooked garlic cloves
- what came out is what you see in the photo. i added a splash of lemon juice on top and some coarse kosher salt
- it was freaking delicious. protein-packed, tasty, with a bit of crunch from the edamame and kale and creaminess from the feta.
- amazingly, it tastes just as good cold as it did hot.
