On April 27 we celebrate #StopFoodWasteDay, a day dedicated to raising awareness around the global food waste problem. Each year, 40% of food is wasted – thrown in a landfill. So while we raise our voices and awareness on Stop Food Waste Day, every other day of the year we do what we can to limit our waste. One way you can start limiting your food waste is to experiment with “no waste” recipes, and what better time is there to stop wasting food than right when your day gets started?
Nothing says “good morning” like golden hash browns served with a sunny egg!
As tasty as the classic breakfast sounds, it is possible to make it even more mouthwatering (and healthy!) To celebrate #StopFoodWasteDay, we present to you an easy recipe that utilizes 100% of produce – Sweet Potato & Parsnip Hash with Carrot Top Chimichurri and a Sunny Egg.
Chimichurri is definitely the star of the show in this recipe. For those who aren’t familiar with it, chimichurri is many things: it’s an Argentinian favorite, it’s an uncooked sauce commonly used for grilled meat and of course, it’s a fun word to say. The savory herby sauce is made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes and red wine vinegar. For additional flavors, you may also add cumin, cilantro, thyme, basil and paprika.
With so many herbs as its ingredients, it’s no wonder that chimichurri is loaded with flavors and nutrients. Let’s break down the food’s health benefits!
