Ingredients
- 2 C THRIVE Zucchini - Freeze Dried blend to a powder in blender for a few seconds. Leaving a few small chunks is desired
- 1 C THRIVE Green Bell Peppers - Freeze Dried blend to a powder in blender for a few seconds. Leaving a few small chunks is desired
- 1/2 C THRIVE Chopped Onions - Freeze Dried blend to a powder in blender for a few seconds. Leaving a few small chunks is desired
- 1/2 C THRIVE Red Bell Peppers - Freeze Dried blend to a powder in blender for a few seconds. Leaving a few small chunks is desired
- 2 Tbsp THRIVE Tomato Powder
- 2 Tbsp THRIVE Italian Seasoning, or Greek, or Mediterranean (Your favourite)
- 1/2 C THRIVE Shredded Parmesan Cheese - Freeze Dried
- 1 C THRIVE Chopped Spinach - Freeze Dried blend to a powder in blender for a few seconds. Leaving a few small chunks is desired
Directions
- Put zucchini into blender and give it only a few seconds to blend. You are looking for it to be powdered, but not completely. A little course is preferable. 2 cups should blend into about 1 cup.
- Do the same with green peppers, red peppers and onions. Just enough to be considered a course powder.
- Pour into a clean quart jar or other container that will have a tight fitting lid. Add tomato powder, seasoning and parmesan cheese. If using non THRIVE parmesan cheese, you might want to store in the fridge, or simply leave the cheese out and add it separately to each dish later.
- Stir with a fork to blend all the ingredients.
- This mix is incredibly versatile. Add it to everything! I am not kidding.
- Mediterranean Meatloaf: Add 1/2 cup - 1 cup to your favourite raw ground beef mixture, form as you usually do and bake in oven as usual.
- Mediterranean Meatballs: Add 1/2 cup - 1 cup to your favourite raw ground beef mixture, form into small meatballs, and brown as you usually do. Serve with pasta and pasta sauce, or over rice.
- Mediterranean Cream of ..... Soup: Add 1/2 cup or so to your favourite cream soup, or chowder.
- Mediterranean Pasta Sauce: Add 1/2 cup or so to your favourite tomato sauce, or cream sauce. Serve over fettucini or spaghetti.
- Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs or Omelotte: Add to beaten eggs and allow a minute or two to 'refresh'. Cook eggs as usual. (Try THRIVE scrambled egg mix)
