Frozen A OK
|
This is a great place to use
a good quality organic vegetable medley.
I prefer the ones that include corn, carrots, peas and maybe eda
mame.
Butter a ceramic or glass
casserole dish or a 12” non stick skillet. Spoon the mixture in and place into a cold oven. Set the temperature to 325 and a timer
for 45 mins. After the first 45
mins top w/
1/3
|
Cup
|
Crema
|
|
1 ½
|
Tablespoons
|
Fresh minced herbs
|
Drizzle this mixture over the
top. It doesn’t need to cover fully
or be spooned in. It’s like a
glaze. I use fresh basil blossoms
for the herbs, but any fresh fragrant herb blend will work nicely, oregano,
chives, parsley, chervil, tarragon, sage, etc.
Return to the oven for 45
mins more. It’s done when set, slightly
golden around the edges and beginning to pull away from the sides.
Avanti Crema Spoon Bread is
amazingly adaptable, it’s gluten free, high protein, guilt free comfort
food. Use it to embellish almost
every savory dish.
