Meatless Meals 1

Making:
Everything bagel potato veggie Bowl!

Serves: 1 (2 servings if used as a side)

Here's what I have:

1/4 cup White onion
1/2 cup potato 
2 cups red cabbage
1/4 cups beets
1/4 cups parsley chopped
1/4 cups carrots 

1 tbsp butter cut in half
2 tbsp everything bagel topping 
1/4 cup broth 

Preperation: 

The cabbage and beets were steamed.  Because these veggies are cut pretty thin it only takes about 10 or 11 minutes after the water is brought to a boil. These can be cooked last. 

I got the cast iron hot I put in half of the butter and the carrots as the butter melted I stirred the carrots around so they were coated in butter. Next in, the potatoes and onion. 

These were cut small so they were cooked pretty much the same way you'd do any potato hash.  After allowing them to cook for a while I put in the broth and cooked until the potatoes and carrots were soft. 

Next in, the parsley and I let everything cook down until most of the liquid was gone before adding the rest of the butter and everything bagel topping. Mix well and then it's ready to plate.

The plate!

This meatless food experiment is very tasty. It ended up being pretty big bowl of food so there were leftovers. The beets gave it a bit of sweetness to offset the everything bagel flavor.

This would also work well if the carrots and potatoes were roasted instead. I'd like to do this dish again as a side with, a mustard or dill based seasoning for chicken or steak. It could also be done slightly spicy and topped with bulgogi meat.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter.  I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature.  The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot.  The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter.  Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
