[Arrangement Recipe] Elvis Toast and Stew Arranged from Fermented Medicinal Layered Stew
[Arrangement Recipe] Elvis Toast and Stew Arranged from Fermented Medicinal Layered Stew
This morning, I made Elvis toast using store-bought muffins.
Elvis Toast.
The toast Elvis Presley loved seems to be made by topping it with jam and bacon, then sandwiching it and grilling it in butter...
but that's a bit too high in calories,
so at our house, we mostly use bread, peanut paste, bananas, and citrus.
Today, I spread unsweetened peanut paste on a muffin split in half,
topped it with banana,
and finished it by squeezing citrus over it,
adding a splash of lemon juice.
Sudachi or kabosu are also delicious,
of course.
The only sweetness comes from the banana.
The richness of the peanuts combined with the acidity of the lemon
makes for a surprisingly light aftertaste.
It's not too heavy,
yet it's satisfying,
and both "delicious" and "gentle"
are right here at the same time.
And in the kitchen,
I had lentils and root vegetables prepared using the layered stew method.
Ingredients layered in the correct order,
letting time do the work.
I added milk and a little butter to the layered stew
to turn it into a stew.
With lentils and chicken, you get protein too,
making it a light milk stew perfect for the morning.
Lentils are a convenient ingredient that don't need soaking and can be used directly in stews.
They dissolve as they cook,
providing a natural thickness.
If the muffin provides "satisfaction,"
the layered stew provides a sense of "being centered."
There are days when I'm helped by store-bought items,
and days when I take the time to prepare things slowly.

Medicinal Notes
・Peanuts: Moisten the lungs and soothe dryness. A gentle fat for winter to early spring.
・Banana: A sweet flavor that moistens the intestines and relieves tension. Using it in a way that isn't too sweet is good for health.
・Lemon: An acidic flavor that helps the flow of qi and lightens fats. Supports digestion.
・Layered Stew: A cooking method that utilizes the yin and yang and moisture of the ingredients to regulate the spleen and stomach (digestive power).
→ A combination that achieves both "satisfaction" and "regulation."
