EGGS FIORENTINA
We had similar breakfasts yesterday and today. Everything out of the spring garden apart from the flour, olive oil and salt – with an extended back yard I could sow wheat, keep a cow etc! 😉 The picture on the left is a Fiorentina with Quail Eggs made with radish leaves. The challenge is to gather enough leaves and I find that the leaves keep well in a plastic bag in the fridge, until I have enough leaves saved.  The right hand picture is of the same dish but using chard. The chard has a sweeter taste especially when the onion is replaced by leek.
The small buns I bake to entice my grand kids to eat. I mix grated cheese in to my usual bread recipe and bake the buns in muffin pans for 14 minutes.
TODAY’S HARVEST – FIT FOR A KING!
The harvest of this morning will become :Â UOVA ALLA FIORENTINA (Eggs Fioretina)
Ad some butter and olive oil to a pan and fry some onion until soft and brown. Now ad Spinach / Chard or Silverbeet to the pan and saute until soft. Ad salt and pepper to your taste. Ad finely chopped Garlic and Chilli and fry for another two minutes. Turn the heat down and make as many indents in the Spinach as to the amount of eggs you want to cook. Break an egg into each indent and put a lid on the pan and cook the eggs to your liking. Sprinkle lightly with Parmigiano cheese if you so wish. Serve immediately with crusty home made bread and a glass of good wine.
