Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet (with a vegan swap)

There’s nothing that says ‘comfort’ like a warm skillet and when it comes to flavor, color and texture, this hits on all cylinders.

My Chicken Sausage, Spelt and Pepper Skillet from my book, Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive, combines protein (you can swap a plant-based sausage like LightLife or Beyond Meat, or do tempeh), slow burning superfoods grain and veggies to the table in a meal that satisfies and literally brings itself together in the oven. The grain cooks perfectly in the oven because there’s plenty of liquid to drink up. A great family meal when it gets coupled with a fresh salad and maybe an extra scoop of spelt.

PRO-TIP: If you can’t find spelt, long grain brown rice is a good swap.

Chef Mareyas MedMex Salad

When you have a hankerin for a hearty salad…you make my MedMex creation.

Here’s how you elevate each ingredient:

Roast the purple sweet potatoes at 400F for 30 min (these were little ones) to bring out their utmost creaminess.
Massage that kale with dressing. Sorry @dave.asprey i know how you feel about kale but this is the best way to enjoy it. Get into it good. I used a mix of baba ganoush - smoky and tangy from vinegar- with prepared Greek-style salsa and fresh lemon. Sometimes mixing sauces like a chemist works .
Black beans get rinsed well and dressed up wirh a little cumin. Taste them first.
Toasted pumpkin seeds add great crunch and a little warmth. Sprinkle with smoked paprika for more flavor or cayenne for a little kick.
I douse the @violife_foods Greek-style feta with good EVOO and Greek Freak seasoning from @spiceology 
Finish wirh fresh cilantro

Each Ingredient should be able to stand on its own 2 feet, and when they come together,...
