Here are some interesting facts I researched for you.
Brussel Sprouts: source of sulforaphane, and indole-3-carbinol, chemicals believed to promote DNA repair and block the growth of cancer cells. Radicchio: excellent source of vitamin K, potassium zinc and iron. Mung beans: high in protein, phosphorus, folate and vitamin C. Pepitas (sunflower seeds): rich in amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, calcium, potassium, and phosphorous as well as loaded with most of the B vitamins, and vitamins C, D, E, and K. Add to these ancient and potent ingredients the proteins of eggs and the anti-inflammatory effects of extra-virgin olive oil and you have gifted yourself and your family with the tastiest immune system booster you can dream of. Great health is just a mouthful away!
INGREDIENTS, serves 4
1 radicchio or chioggia
1 cup of brussle sprouts, raw, outer leaves removed
4 tablespoons of pepitas (sunflower seeds)
4 tablespoons of mung beans
4 soft boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half
3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
2 tabespoons of vincotto (use balsamic vinegar if vincotto is not available)
salt for seasoning
HOW TO
1.Using a mandoline or a sharp knife (or a food processor fitted with the shredding blade) cut the radicchio into fine strips and the brussel sprouts into thin slices.
2. Add the mung beans and pepitas, season with oil and vincotto, add salt and mix well.
3. Top with soft boiled or poached eggs and enjoy as it is or with a slice of sourdough
Enjoy the benefits of healthy eating!
