Re: Bump - Still Looking for Suggestions

Sprouts make a great garnish for any soup-especially " cream " style soups (we

make our cream soups without cream, using white beans, cauliflower or other

veggies to thicken them, but however you like them works) We just sprinkle a

good bunch of them over it. Our favorite is sunnies on cream of cauliflower

soup. We also make lettuce wraps, using any large leaf of lettuce as the

wrap-you can use egg salad, tabuleh, chicken salad-whatever your choice of

filling is and add a bunch of sprouts before you wrap it. You can add sprouts

to any green smoothie. They are great stir fried with any other vegges, meats,

etc. You can sprinkle them over spagetti, fettucini, etc. You can bake them in

to muffins and breads. You can make " arrancini " , which is a stuffed rice ball

(like a meatball, only made from rice, and usually stuffed with a piece of

cheese or meat-we like them just plain. Roll the arrancini in sprouts before

serving. Another " no-cook " meal, is to take a round loaf of bread, slice it

into three layers (like a layer cake) Spread each layer with a different

spread-egg salad, chicken salad, pimento cheese, etc-any of your choice-we are

vegetarian, so we do egg, pimento, and hummus) Spread each layer then stack on

the other layers, so the loaf is back in its original shape-make a " frosting " of

cream cheese softened and mixed with a little milk (we use rice milk) chopped

herbs and sprouts- " frost " the sandwich with the cream cheese, like you would a

cake, and sprinkle sprouts all over it like you would put sprinkles on a

cake-this sandwich is a HUGE hit with kids! Just cut it like you would any cake

and serve. Hope this gives you a few ideas!

eat, and only because of health concerns not previously known. I would really

appreciate some of you sharing your favorite ways to incorporate sprouts into

your diets. Since I don't really know how to cook, I'm not very creative about

what to do with these things beyond putting in salads. I will try Melody's

sprout patties once I have some sprouts to use. Thanks.
