Breakfast for Dinner!


When it comes to breakfast, I'm a savory gal.  I quickly pass on pancakes, french toast, even cereal.  My taste buds crave salt so when it comes to making breakfast, I usually throw together some sort of grain and vegetable and top it on slice of whole grain toast.  When I entered my kitchen Sunday night to figure out something for dinner, I thought "Why not make some delicious breakfast food?"  So, I did!

I bought some fresh kale at the market on Sunday and quickly decided to use some of it up. I knew I wanted to top my creation with some egg, but decided to omit the yolk due to cholesterol reasons.

Here it is folks:

Sunday Night Breakfast for Dinner 

Ingredients

1 handful cleaned and chopped Kale
1/4 of a Red Onion, thinly sliced
1C Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed
1C Mushrooms, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1T Oil (I used coconut)
1 Egg (yolk discarded)
2 cups precooked Grains (I used Pearl Barley)
1/4C sliced Tomatoes (mine were mine heirloom)
2T Hummus (optional)

Method

-Precook your grain of choice or use some you already have on hand.
-Wrap diced sweet potatoes in a wet paper towel and soften in the microwave for quicker        cooking.
-Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the oil to line the pan.
-Add all the vegetables minus the tomatoes.
-Cook until softened,
-Season with salt and pepper.
-Moved vegetables into the center of the pan and flatten into a circle.
-Crack the egg over top the vegetables and place a lid over the top.  
-Heat until the egg is cooked through.
-Spoon the grains onto a plate or bowl.
-Add vegetable/egg mixture over top of the grains.
-Layer the tomatoes on top of the egg.
-Add hummus on the side.

Enjoy!
