Description
This a great, flexible main dish for vegetarians trying to increase our protein intake. It's low-carb and even small portions are quite filling. Eat it hot for dinner or cold for a post-gym lunch. You can use any dark greens you prefer, but it's my favorite way to eat broccoli. Add or substitute whatever spices tickle your fancy — try it with a tablespoon of dill; go italian with shredded fresh basil, ground rosemary, and extra garlic; or go mediterranean with cumin and coriander. If you substitute matzoh meal for the wheat germ, this can be a fun gefilte fish substitute for a vegetarian seder. Makes 8 side dishes
