Springtime Salsa

Hey Spicy Friends,

I came home and found a bag of Beanitos chips, but I had nothing to dip them in! So I whipped up this quick salsa with what I found in my fridge and it really hit the spot. I ate it while it was still warm which was just lovely- it is just as good cooled though!

Springtime Salsa

Ingredients:

1/4c water

1 vine tomato, cubed

1/4 spanish onion

1/2 bunch green onion

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 1/2 tsp pink himalayan rock salt

Some fresh cracked pepper

Directions:

1. In a sauce-pot over medium heat, combine the onions, tomato and water and let simmer. Once the mixture has simmer for 2 minutes add the cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir and mash until satisfied with the consistency. (I personally prefer a runnier salsa)

2. Pour salsa into a bowl and stir in the fresh cilantro.

3. Eat while warm, or let cool and enjoy that way! It's so delicious, easy and clean! Winds up being much cheaper than store bought. 

Stay sunny, loves.

I threw this stew together the other day and it wound up being a lovely dish! Great for a rainy day when all you want is a warm, hearty meal. This makes two servings, I will admit however I ate the whole thing in one sitting. Note! For a more filling meal, serve on a bed of brown rice!

3c vegetable broth

1 medium sweet potato

1/3c red quinoa

1/4 spanish onion

1 tsp turmeric

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 bay leaves

1/2 tsp cayenne

6 leaves of collard green

Directions:

1. Boil the vegetable broth together with the turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne and bay leaves.

2. Add the quinoa in to cook for about 5 minutes.

3. Toss in the cubed sweet potatoes and onion.

3. Let the stew cook for about 12 or so minutes, then mix in the collard green.

4. Turn off the heat, and let the stew sit for about 5 minutes the serve!
