Now, you may be asking yourself what garbage has to do with a food blog but it will all become crystal clear in a minute........
I just learned the term "garbage burrrito" and saw one in the flesh...now, it's not the healthiest choice and packs a wallop of calories but I have been trying to clear out my veggie drawer in the fridge and the thought came to mind of how I could do my own "garbage" creations but in a healthy way...of course, taste still has to be paramount.
So, tonight I had a garbage salad....it consisted of:
spinach
spring onions (Scallions)
cornichons (pickled gherkins)
pepperoncinis (sliced)
tomatoes (diced)
cold corn and peas left from dinner
cold cooked broccoli
left over roasted red peppers
avocado
sliced almonds
I added some balsamic vinegar and lemon olive oil and some left over pulled brisket meat and voila...a healthy (and colourful) meal was born.
Try it! And send pics!!
Sorry about lack of pics....my phone was dead and i haven't seen my camera in a while........it looked great though.......
You could also do a garbage omelette (the veggies being the garbage part)...easy on the cheese please, Louise!
Enjoy!
