Lotus Root, Actually Great, Lotus Root

20241223 #breakfastdiary 1265, -6°C/partly cloudy Now wondering what it means to live on while lying down sunlight fell on my face I kept my eyes closed until the light passed quietly (Han Kang, Song of the Recovery Period) I thought maybe this scene was that passage from the Nobel Prize acceptance speech. "When I closed my eyes, the orange light of the sun filled the inside of my eyelids. I felt that was the light of life. That indescribably warm light and air were surrounding my body." Yesterday I lay for a moment like a line drawn in the middle of that light. - #roastedlotusroot with creamy avocado, lightly tossed together

1 lotus root, 1 avocado, pepper, (dressing) 3T olive oil, 1T white wine vinegar, 1t whole grain mustard 👉Like this 1. Wash the lotus root with the skin on and cut into bite-size pieces. Heat a pan with olive oil, add salt salt and pepper pepper and roast. 2. Peel the avocado and cut into cubes. (Mine had gotten too ripe when I cut it, so I used frozen avocado instead. Creamy frozen avocado #actuallygreat) 3. Put the lotus root, avocado, and dressing in a mixing bowl and toss evenly. 4. Plate it and pepper pepper pepper pepper #breakfast #recipe #miraclemorning #lotusroot
