Crusty.

Look at this nerd who biked to yoga today!

Nerd alert with the reflector pants!

BLOG-9834

Yoga was just meh today. Not much of a workout. Just stretching. But that was OK on the dreary day.

I came home to Matt unpacking some goodies he brought home from the Moose Drool brewery!!

BLOG-9829BLOG-9831BLOG-9832

We’re a moose family 🙂

For dinner tonight we made a recipe from Natural Health magazine: Deep Dish Greens with Millet Amaranth Crust. It’s from Terry Walters’ new "Clean Start" cookbook!

BLOG-9850

It started with a TON of greens

BLOG-9835

And veggies

BLOG-9838

And a millet and amaranth crust [to which we added nutritional yeast!]

BLOG-9840

BLOG-9843

After drizzling with olive oil

BLOG-9846

And broiling for 10 minutes…

we had a pie!

BLOG-9851

My 25% portion was served with a side of plain yogurt – which was a really awesome contrast.

BLOG-9857

I LOVED the crust on this, but felt the dish was a bit on the bland side. I’m imagining the same concept with more flavorful veggies, cheese (blue cheese!?), a maple scent, bacon, parmesan cheese. Just needed a bit more flava.

BLOG-9854

BLOG-9853

BLOG-9859

After wrapping up some more computer work, I’m going to go nibble on some dark chocolate and stick my nose into a book!

    I love millet, especially with parmesan cheese! Maybe try cooking the millet crust using veg stock next time with a few handfuls of grated parmesan cheese for added flavor? Adding some more seasonings to the vegetable filling may make a difference too, although I don’t really know what other seasonings are in the veg mix.

    Your dinners always look delicious! 🙂

    It has taken me 11 years of yoga to realize that some days…this is ok. Some days, this is what I am SUPPOSED to be doing, that I dont have to be in 5th gear every single time i step on my mat. I tell my students this, and I need to tell myself this.

    Clearly you’re already rocking the whatever, it was fine, attitude. Which is awesome 🙂

    I seen that book and looks like it does have some nice recipes in it! Thanks for letting us know what you thought of this recipe. Actually the Author herself says that other people may not be used to the tastes of it – maybe too plain or something simply because she doesn’t add any salt and stuff . But interesting.

    Kath – I make pies like that often (though I add meat to the veggies) and mix the filling with either a thicker broth of some sort, or like a condensed soup from the store (cream of chicken, or a clear soup), which adds a TON of flavor.

    That pie looks so delicious but its already the second “meh” review I’ve read of it, so I think I might make the crust and bake it on top of a ratatouille instead! I always loved the Chickpea Ratatouille with a Polenta crust from “eat, drink and be vegan” I think the millet amaranth would be amazing with it! At least your pics look drool-worthy!
