VEGGIE MEAT SPREADS

Do you have left over meat especially on holidays? Keep this easy thrifty recipe.
Leftover Meat Spread Recipe (Method)
· Chopped meat in food processor; like, (baked chicken, turkey, beef, ham, Spam, hot dog, cold cuts, 6 eggs or even cooked organic flavored tofu)<---recipe is found in this blog (And, many choices of veg. meat can be used to make it a vegetarian spread.)
· Smaller chopped onion or green onions or fresh chives for color, + nutrients · ½ to1 stock chopped celery

Artichokes is great for the liver, good protein, fiber,
naturally balance, if organically grown, and, is good medicine

· Fresh, bit of parsley
· Salt and pepper to taste
· 2 tbls + mayo (enough to hold it altogether)
· Abt 1 tsp. mustard (optional, except for an egg salad)
· 1 tbls pickle relish or pickle (optional)
· Chopped Romaine Lettuce or Watercress
· Whole wheat bread, pita or, whole wheat wraps The ratio of measurements to ingredients depends on how much meat in your serving 4-6-8 etc.
This is about 4 servings per 2-cups meat. This is a great way to use leftovers and especially meat you don’t really care for dark, light, neck, tail end etc.
Have a handy small food chopper that can pulse the meat to desired constancy (don’t over pulse unless you want it for a fine spread for crackers i.e.)
First chop up the vegetables in a food chopper or a blender on pulse and a pickle if you don’t have relish. Leave out anything you don’t like and sub what you do like. This is basic. Pick up a small food chopper at Savors or another Thrift Store.
Eggs: I also make this same recipe up with 6 boiled eggs for egg salad using the same ingredients except for of course the meat.
Post Notes: Adding in black beans to your wraps. Rinsed cooked black beans can be added to the whole-wheat wrap, diced up a tomato or. Add salsa i.e. this adds more grams of fiber! After soaking beans an hour in hot water, salting the dry black beans cooked in onion-garlic and left over vegetable odds and ends of all my cooking boiling them in the soup mixture. After about 2 hrs. Read the direction on package for exact times, I then strain, rinse the beans discarding the odd and ends of all the vegetables to the garbage. I just want their nice flavors. You can use odd and ends of meat or broths for flavoring in a pinch too. (I use big freezer bags for the freezing veg. till I get enough to process as a broth.) The whole idea here is to add fiber to our diet that's hard to do. (25-35 g daily)
So, once a month I package in small snack plastic bag 1/2 cup of black beans in the fridge or freezer and put them in everything including just for snacks. (1/4 cup is 12 g of fiber that nearly 1/2 the fiber needed for the day)
.Bean protein in 1/4 cup is 11 grams... 1/2 cup is 22 really, who needs meat these little nuggets have all the protein need in vegetable form.
The rest of your fiber is in the vegetables and the wrap. Never eat meat without gobs of fiber to get far through the bowel with out any hang up.
 Total grams of fiber," take away from the "total calories" which will now equal the new total grams of calories.
 
RE: Read Daniel for the story of lrgumes and not eating meat. Why Eseu sold his birthright for legumes, they were that prized.

You will find legumes, as within nature, is a more correct balanced ratio than of meat when it comes to protein, and has more and a healier choice. Plant protein is blanced correctly, (not GMO,s) meat is not.
