Green Eggs and Ham

Green Eggs and Ham is one of the most beloved children’s book in the world by Dr. Seuss. And what does a children’s book gotta do with my kitchen? Well, only the green eggs part. I had a craving for green food all of a sudden; I wanted to eat kale or kailan in Chinese, baby bok choy with dark green leaves, broccoli, green leafy veggies, green candy, green gum, green everything! And so, just a few days ago, I decided I felt like green eggs and ham sausages (because I don’t have ham) with some ceasar salad and boiled green broccauli (yes broccoli and cauliflower hybrid). It was a very green meal indeed.

My green eggs and ham sausages

Here’s a green yearning,
That ended with a little cooking,
Of a very interesting,
Meal of green egg-lings!

Okay, i tried to make it rhyme since it’s a Dr. Seuss and all. Egg-lings probably didn’t belong there but it helped rhyme my little poem hehe. The eggs are in the center of the platter in case you can’t make out what is what since it’s all green.

Anyway, here’s how I made my eggs green:

Ingredients:

2 eggs
1 tablespoon of pesto*
a dash of pepper and salt to taste
1 quarter red onion

Method:

1. Beat eggs together with the rest of the ingredients and cook as you would an omelette.
2. Serve as it is or together with some ham/sausages (and salad, if you’re having this for dinner *grins*)

*Pesto – pesto in general means a paste in italian. I made my pesto with garlic, chives and fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and a bit of pepper. Blend them together with olive oil until it becomes a paste. Store and keep well.
