WILD MALLOW & SHRIMP STIR FRY

Finally went out to the area were their is lot's of mallow growing and pick some fresh young leaves for the dinner.
If you don't have mallow, fresh spinach leaves or collard greens work for this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

Two hand fulls of mallow aka weeds.  :)
1 lb raw of shrimp.
1 cup of brown rice.
2 1/2 cup water.
1 orange bell pepper.
1/2 white onion.
5 garlic cloves
1 small yellow zucchini
1 small mexican squash
2 table spoons of olive oil or rice vinegar
Spice  1/2 teaspoon of each.  Basil, Chipotle, Turmeric,
Paprika,Cinnamon.
Hot Chines mustard (Optional)

Soak shrimp in water for a while to thaw out. These have been cleaned already so all I have to do is take the shell's off.  If their not cleaned, take the shell off, cut the back of the shrimp to expose the vein in the back and pull out.  Also after your done peeling them, make sure you use paper towel to dry the excess water off.  Put them into the pan some what
dry, but not wet.

Put 1 cup of brown rice in a pan with 2 1/2 cups water.  Put lid on and turn burner to high. Clear lid are better.  When you see the bubbles reach the top, turn it down to low, and let it simmer and when the bubble stop bubbling, turn the burner off and let rest. 

Add raw shrimp to pan and add seasoning over. Turn burner only to low.

With metal tongs turn over when they are turning pink.

When both side are pink, turn the off stove and put a lid on it, it will steam done.  This prevents over cooking.

























 
                    Cut up a half of white onion and garlic.

Add olive or rice vinegar to pan and add onion and garlic. Turn burner to Medium high and saute.  When the onion look a light yellowish  you can turn the burner off or leave it on and watch it. 

Cut up the orange bell into strips add to pan. The burner should now be on Medium high.  Cook until the the bell pepper looks

While the bells peppers are cooking use the veggie peeler to make strips out of the zucchini and squash.   Strip away.  And use the left over for soup, do not add to the pan yet.

Now add two good hand fulls of Mallow to the pot.  Turn the heat down to medium low. and use the metal tongs to mix in the mallow, keep stirring until the mallow is wilted.

Like this. 

Now add the zucchini and squash and turn the burner back to medium high.  Becareful this will cook fast.  Mix it in and around, when the zucchini and squash start to look a little transparent the meal is done.  It will have a soft crunch to it.

Add the cookies.  No do not add the cookies.
Add the shrimp and mix in.

Now add the brown rice and mix in.   I could not get a clear picture so fuzzy will do.











The meal is done.  Yum!


I added a tiny bit of Chinese hot mustard and it really complimented the dinner.










ENJOY!
