1 : the right to eat only what you like 2 : the right to munch, whenever you feel a slight hunger 3 : the right to have a snack each time you feel hungry 4 : the right to treat yourself to a meal alone 5 : the right to a nice tablecloth and candles, just like that, without any particular reason 6 : the right to savor a meal of only desserts 7 : the right to never diet 8 : the right to enjoy eating 9 : the right to absolutely ignore fashion’s obligations 10 : the right to find a part of your happiness on your plate Recipe : White cabbage’s turnover Ingredients 1 white cabbage, 2 carrots, 2 fresh onions (yellow or red) some olive oil cold pressed, a few pinches of cinnamon, rice leftovers and lentil leftovers Peel and rough chop the onions et let them brown in the pan with some oil. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cover. During that time, wash the carrots carefully over a basin . If they are organic, you don’t need to peel them because their skin won’t contain any pesticides. You’ll just need to wash them with a small brush, especially made for vegetables. Grate the carrots and add them to the browned onions. Mix well and cover. Take several cabbage leaves, but don’t use the first, which are too hard, and reserve them for semething else. Wash them over the basin, and make sure to use the water for watering your plants, then dry them sommarily. Add the rest of the rice and the lentils into the pan, sprinkle again with cinnamon if necessary, mix well, cover and let cook slowly for a few minutes. Take a comfortable chair and put all the cabbage’s leaves in front of you, next to the pan. Shut off the heat source, take the pan next to you, and put some of the fragrant mix onto each leef. Turn up the leaves, first one side to the middle, then the opposite, then both of the other sides under the turnover. Put all these small turnovers on the rest of the stuffing and let cook slowly again for a few minutes, just enough for the leaves to become soft. Serve warm and taste savoring how the cinnamon finely increases the sweet taste of the carrots and the onions. This winter recipe highlights several benefits of the cabbage, the onion and the carrot. It’s an alternate way to consume white cabbage from raw in a salad. The association : legumes: lentils and rice cereal, offer complete vegetable proteins. The combinations vary : bulgur, barley, quinoa and dried beans, lima-beans or soybeans, purposely prepared or used as leftovers. Finally, olive oil is one of the only oils that can stand heat. In Middle Ages, cinnamon was often cook in salted meals : soups and meats in particular, before it was sent, in the following centuries, at the end of the meal with the sweets. The fine taste it gives to this meal shows that it can take its place in every part of the meal. |
