Who wouldn't want to eat these delicious, vitamin packed vegetables? We know there are many picky eaters out there, so we're going to help you up the flavor ante!
Spring Vegetable Gratin
This low fat vitamin packed side (or main) dish is ridiculously easy!
Go down to the farmer's market or grocery. Pick out about 2-3 lbs of your favorite spring vegetables:
early Zucchini
baby brussel sprouts
Asparagus
Artichokes
early baby Tomatoes
Wash and trim your vegetable choices. (We used all of the above) Slice or dice them to bite size pieces. Toss them in your favorite STM EVOO like Basil, Citrus Habanero or Garlic. Spread them out on a large pan. Preheat your oven to 425. Sprinkle some STM Herbes des Paris over the vegetables and then 1.5 c grated Gruyere cheese. With a fork cut 1 tb butter into 1/2 c of seasoned breadcrumbs. Scatter this over-top the cheese and vegetables. Pop them into the oven and roast about 15-20 minutes. We like to serve this with fresh fish (baked or grilled) and quinoa.
small handful fresh Watercress (chalk full of vitamin C, K, folate, and calcium. Great for energy and muscles)
small handful fresh Arugula (packed with cancer-fighters and natural nitrates)
1/2 Apple or applesauce (to keep the doctor away)
couple Strawberries
1 Apricot
1/2 Papaya
1 tsp STM Amchor
.5 tsp STM Matcha green tea powder
splash of coconut or almond milk
For fuller flavor, we like to freeze the fruit and omit ice cubes. Just pop it in the blender with enough milk to smooth it out. Surprisingly refreshing and delicious -the Captain was dubious, but we won him over in the end : )
