So this morning for breakfast I decided to use:

apple

fennel

pistachios

almonds

I put the nuts in a small pot on low heat and let them heat up a bit as I roughly chopped 2 medium sized gala apples (though I only used one and one half of an apple and ate the other half raw) and some fennel finely chopped (maybe 2 tablespoons worth). I put the apples and fennel in with the nuts and sprinkled cinnamon on top and covered pot with a lid. Five minutes later or so I added a bit of water to the pot and some maple syrup. I let the whole mixture sit on the stove top on low heat for 15 minutes or so. If you like a crunchier texture you can only heat it for 10 minutes, or if you like a softer consistency you can heat this mixture for 20-30 minutes. Just be sure to taste as you go. I found that this was easy to eat for breakfast.



So do you remember that fennel and carrot salad from the other day....?
I had that left over so I added some freshly boiled adzuki beans and some mixed root vegetable chips.
This blend was really tasty and crunchy. The chips mimic croutons in their crunch but pack a really nice flavor that goes well in salads.
