Good afternoon, my dear readers!

Today I offer you a fairly simple Ayurvedic recipe for preparing a healthy dish of health, youth, slimness and longevity from cabbage stewed with vegetables, lentils and flax seeds.

I always cook vegetables this way, adding something new to the recipe each time. Fantasy has no limits here. Due to this, a new, unique taste is always obtained. Try it!

Cooking stewed cabbage with vegetables and lentils

Ingredients:

• Cabbage fresh – ½ large head of cabbage
• Carrots – 2 pcs.
• Onion – turnip – ½ pc.
• Frozen garlic spears (if available)
• Cherry tomatoes (I used frozen) – a few pieces
• Medium zucchini – ½ piece.
• Flax seed– 2 tbsp.
• Lentils– ½ cup
• Green beans (I used frozen)
• Salt - to taste
• Drinking water – ½ glass
• Favorite spices (today I have turmeric, suneli hops, sweet paprika, dry adjika, nutmeg, mustard seed) - according to taste and desire
• Olive oil or – 2 tbsp.
• Fresh or frozen greens (as in my version) - for serving

My cooking method:

1. Soak flax seed and lentils together for 3 hours (overnight is possible)

2. We will prepare all the vegetables and cut them into any desired cuts that your heart desires.

3. The first to cook are onions and carrots, which we simmer in preheated oil with the lid closed for 3 minutes.

5. Place cherry tomatoes and spices on top, close the lid and simmer for 5 minutes

6. Stir, add zucchini and cabbage, mix again and simmer under a closed lid until half cooked (the time depends on the type of cabbage, if it is winter, then the simmer is longer - up to 30 minutes)

7. Pour in water and bring to a boil. We wash the lentils and flax seeds and add them to the vegetables, add salt, mix and simmer for another 10 - 15 minutes, again with the lid closed. I choose a shorter time because I don’t like overcooked vegetables or overcooked legumes. They are of no use or appearance...

Our stewed cabbage with vegetables and lentils is ready! Serve immediately, sprinkled with chopped herbs. As an option, you can serve steamed fish with this dish.

Good luck with your cooking! I look forward to your comments.
