Recipe: Hash brown thing w/ zucchini, cauli, and spicy sauce
I made this a little while ago and it was inspired by Sport Peppers that my mom gave me from her friend's garden.
Hash Browns:
- Two Freshly Grated Potatoes, fried in oil (baking them would likely be easier, produce crunchier potatoes, and reduce oil. You MUST squeeze the water out of them before cooking them. A clean kitchen towel is good for this.)
- One Zucchini - cut into thin strips, each about a half-zucch in length
- Pseudo-riced Cauliflower (tiny bits, but i don't have a ricer)
Sauce:
- Onion, caramelized
- Spicy Peppers (As many as you want. Blackened some, but this is probably not necessary)
- Tomatoes (one or two fat ones. I used all the ripe little matoes from my garden.)
- Carrot (one or two)
- Nutritional yeast (for nutrients moreso than flavor)
Cook it, BLEND IT.
I don't think I added ANY seasonings to the sauce. It was FANTASTIC
And then:
Ya cook the cauli first to soften, then add the zucc and already-cooked potatoes. Zucc just needs to be hot, doesn't really need cooked. Then you serve the hash brown mix with sauce on top. Don't pre-mix the whole batch because then it won't store well.
The texture from the zucc and potatoes was fantastic. The cauli didn't add much texture (and it shouldn't). The sauce paired really well with it. But I cannot state strongly enough how FREAKING GOOD the texture of the thin zucc was.
