The eggs, scallion greens, wild garlic chives and dead nettles came from the yard.

Butter, tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper and emergency goat came from the store.

Cost per person, $2.80. $1.5 of that is tomatoes.

Tell me about the tomato work.

Cut in half, seasoned, and tossed under the broiler for a minute? Pre-heated oven? Seasoned after taken out? Face down in a hot dry pan?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Remove stem. Cut in half. A little olive oil drizzled on the cut surface. Salt and pepper, cut side up under the broiler until skin starts to slip (10 minutes?) or air fryer for 6-8 minutes at 400.

It simple. It's bright. It's a perfect compliment to fatty eggs, cheese, and butter.

If you decide to serve it with Indian food you can use curry powder instead of salt and pepper.

Delightful, thanks!

[–] caradenada@feddit.cl 3 points 2 months ago

Simplicity FTW! Easy, tasty, nutritious, and good looking. Has it all.

Thank you for this post, because now I’ve learned that a plant I grew up with and only thought of as ‘the one with little purple flowers’ is actually edible and a relative of stinging nettles. Neat!

[–] MarieMarion@literature.cafe 3 points 2 months ago

For those who don't know: Stinging nettles are edible, too. And delicious.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I've taken them, the wild garlic in the yard, pecans from my tree, Parmesan and olive oil to make pesto before. I do recommend some salt be added.

Dead nettles are free food in your yard. Vitamin C, A, and K, and iron.

The yard clippings did all the work.

[–] MakingWork@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

The egg looks perfect. Just smooth!

That isn't yard clippings.

[–] Chippys_mittens@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Phenomenal job that looks so perfect and delicious!

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

May we all have Emergency Goat! That there is a dang ol' masterpiece. oO

I suppose "French" implies a crepe-approach, so to speak? Godamn Cottage Food-Industry Laws, or I would be #1 customer, after Mssr. Chan, of course.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Surprising that you didn't have yard tomatoes, too. Guess the season is wrong for 'em, but if you can build a chicken coop you can build a cold frame or greenhouse...

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

We will have tomatoes but definitely too early in the year right now

[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Goat cheese sounds good. People don't use it a lot where I live.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hmm, it does not look like it and I never noticed one either.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Unfortunate. They have the best price on goat cheese.
