Foodie Friday: Garden Harvest Scramble

After harvesting a nice haul of produce from our gardens, we were all hungry and needing some lunch to refuel us for the afternoon’s projects. I couldn't resist sharing a picture of my little helper, a future gardener in the making!

A friend recently gave us a dozen eggs from her chickens so I decided to
make us a tasty Garden Harvest Scramble. 

I get giddy with excitement when I am able to make meals for our family that are all home grown and
homemade, I previously wrote about this in my post called Veggie Garden Bliss. Bliss is what it really is and eating every bite of this yummy food made me smile!

Here are the ingredients we used, although you could use a variety of veggies depending on what is ripe and ready to harvest in your gardens:

Shallots, garlic, carrots, beets, kale, zucchini

fresh eggs

sea salt

fresh cracked pepper

yogurt or milk

 Chop the shallots, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the carrots and beets. Add them to a large pan, we always use cast iron so I chose our largest one with a nice heavy lid. 

To make sure the veggies get cooked a little, start out by sauteing the shallots, garlic, carrots and beets in about 1 TBS butter or olive oil. While they are sauteing, chop the zucchini into bite size pieces and tear or cut the beet greens and kale into bit size pieces. When the carrots and beets are starting to soften just a little, add in the chopped zucchini, beet greens and kale. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, put the lid on and let it steam for 1-2 minutes. 

While the veggies are steaming, crack as many eggs as you want to use (we used six) in a bowl and whip. Instead of adding a little milk, I wanted to keep this meal all homemade/homegrown/locally made so I poured in some of my homemade piima yogurt (you can read about it here). 

 I finished whipping in the yogurt then poured this mixture over the veggies and stirred it up. Put the lid back on for a few minutes, stir once or twice and wait for the eggs to finish cooking. I thought about adding in some spices but the flavors of the veggies were so delicious that just the light sprinkling of sea salt and pepper was enough for this meal.

Not to leave out our little nugget, I had to puree some of this goodness for her. She LOVED it, and I loved seeing her big smile and baby squeals demanding we feed her more!
