Another Friday night at work and another break room ‘cooking’ experience to chronicle. Today I decided to bring some bags of leftovers to see what kind of magic I could come up with in the dead of the night, starving, working, and without a stove.

I did find an old steak knife in the break room, so that was my tool of choice for the chopping and cutting.

Ingredients:

• Raw
  • onion – kind of chopped
  • cabbage - slivers sliced off 1/2 head
  • beet – cut into tiny pieces
  • green pepper – cut into tiny pieces
  • yellow zuchinni – cut into shoestring pieces
  • ginger root – 1/2 tsp. finely chopped
• Soaked/cooked 3/4 cup steel cut oats
• 1 Tbls. Vegenaisse
• salt
• 1 tsp. raw sugar
• pinch of ground cardamon
• 1 tsp. (approx) chopped fresh dill from my garden:)

I just had my steel salad and it was really good, just something missing. I”m not sure what. It has great texture with the combination of so many things, it’s creamy, a bit salty and sweet, but it just needs something, maybe some fresh mint..yea, next time fresh mint it is.
