"I really enjoy seared vegetable trio with well-made sourdough bread toast, but you can enjoy it as is, or with cooked grain or salad."

ingredients
- 2 cups 2 large carrots
- 1 cup daikon radish
- 3 cups washed and chopped collard greens
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Method
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Place a medium pot of water on high heat. Salt the water with about 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, peel carrots and daikon radish with a vegetable peeler. Chop off the leaves of the daikon, and the root ends. Save the leaves and cook them with the collards if they are good. Slice the roots into 3-inch lengths.
Step 2
After the water boils, add the thickest root sections to the water, and boil for about 4-5 minutes. Add the thinner sections and cook for another 3 minutes. The vegetables are ready when they are tender on the outside, but not all the way through. Remove from water and allow to cool.
Step 3
When the root vegetables are cool enough to handle, slice them lengthwise into slabs about a third of an inch thick. Place slices in a bowl. Cover with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss the vegetables to coat with oil.
Step 4
Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat and add prepared root vegetables. Arrange the roots into an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Allow to cook until caramelization reaches a golden brown. Turn each piece individually and cook another few minutes. Remove the vegetables and return the skillet to the heat.
Step 5
Using the same bowl as before, add the prepared collards and mix them with the remaining oil in the bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and add to the skillet. Caramelize the greens. This will take only a couple of minutes. Remove.
To Serve
Step 1
These vegetables are very pretty with the three contrasting colors of orange, white, and green. Try arranging them on a platter with the greens as a bed underneath the roots.
Step 2
As I mentioned earlier, enjoy this recipe with Savory Tofu on sourdough toast. Spread mayonnaise, add tofu, and top with the colorful vegetables.
