Cheesy Omnivore Tteok
The power couple behind Omnivore Meats stand to inform us that veggies deserve the spotlight just as much as meat. Together they have transformed the two food groups into a product that we should all stand by! I for one have trouble incorporating vegetables into my meals (especially when they are carb-centric) so I feel less guilty to share with you a starchy favorite complete with a flavorful veggie and meat protein combo. Gabriella and Walker are setting the precedent for the future of sustainable and healthy ground meat.
Gather the Goods
Olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1# Tteok
1# omnivore meat
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon hot pepper paste
2 teaspoons lemon zest
Parmesan for grating
Salt to taste
Fresh chopped basil and parsley to serve
Make It
Follow the package instructions for the tteok and cook until tender. Set aside.
Add the olive oil and butter to a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add in the garlic and sweat until aromatic.
Crumble in the meat and cook until browned seasoning with enough salt to your liking!
Move the meat to the side of the pan and add the hot pepper paste in the middle so it will lightly fry. Incorporate the paste into the meat.
Add the Tteok, lemon zest and as much grated parm desired and stir to combine. Taste and add salt if needed (or more cheese)!
Serve topped with fresh herbs!
