Are you plagued by the follow summer problem:
You finally cleared your counters of those menacing heaps of zucchini when you realize that you can't see the back of your fridge because you mom keeps giving you bags of greens that
1) are taking over her garden, and,
2) she can't even remember their names?
Solution:
First of all, blanch them (don't tell the Nutrition Police that you got that tip from me); they will shrink to amazing proportions!
Stuff them into the food processor (no, not the blender, not even the Vitamix [gasp]) along with (for about 2 c wilted greens) 3/4 c unsalted sunflower seeds, 3/4 c raw slivered almonds, 1 T salt, 2 T olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, a handful of cilantro (or whatever else you need to use up), 3 cloves garlic, and 2 shallots.
Serving suggestions: freeze it for later, spread it on bread, toss it with pasta, or just stand over the sink and spoon it into your mouth even though it's only 9:00 in the morning.
I moss you,
Tofu
mmmmmmm!! your Mom
