OMELETTE AU SPROUT MILITARISTICA

RELATED CONTENT

Heat some healthy-type oil in a frying pan or griddle while you beat two eggs till your wrist is sore. Chop a small fistful of sprouts and grate or slice 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cheese. Spread the beaten egg on the griddle, dump on the cheese and sprouts and fold the egg up over the mountain of nutrition. Flip the omelette and let it cook till you think it's done. Voila! A low-cost, high protein, crunchy breakfast treat.

SAUTEED SPROUTS

Fry sprouts five minutes in butter seasoned with a little sea salt. Serve with meat.

CREAMED SPROUTS

Simmer sprouts in double boiler with a white sauce till tender.

ORIENTAL MAIN DISH MAGNIFIQUE

Take one Oriental recipe and substitute real sprouts for all or part of the called-for vegetables. Eat with Zen-like reverence for the way of the universe. Goes down best hand-fed with wooden chopsticks.

QUICK-FIX TASTY TREATS

Grind together one cup sprouted wheat, one cup almonds or other soft nuts and one cup seeded raisins. Salt to taste and mix well. Roll into little balls and keep on rolling right through some grated coconut. Chew fifty times like you should chew all your food. Unlike store-bought goodies (which decompose with ten chomps) these sprout yummies just get better and better. A definite taste trip.

BIBLIOGRAPHY

THE NATURAL FOODS COOKBOOK by Beatrice Trum Hunter, pages 217-220. You should already have this wise tome in your liberation library of revolutionary cuisine.

FEEL LIKE A MILLION by-Catharyn Elwood, pages 278-291. Lays down a good resume of sprout nutrition, dietetics and bibliography up to 1956. Much USDA research has gone down since then . . . mostly on livestock.

SPROUTS: ELIXIR OF LIFE by John H. Tobe. This ranting $2.75 paperback of less than 15,000 words ends with a chapter on "Sprouts and Virility", so you know where it's at. Borrow a copy if you can but don't buy. Tobe's work is fringe and much of his research is straight out of Elwood.
