I love the fact that our community centres do good food boxes for elderly, families or those who have limited funds. We get them for our clients & as a not-for-profit our staff & volunteers can purchase them too. These boxes contain a wonderful mix of vegetables & fruit. So today I made a big pan of spicy veg & a pan of sprouted crimson lentils, wild rice & quinoa. I bought a bag of prairie blend by floating leaf which also includes sorghum & brown rice. The sprouting means it all cooks in about 20 mins & the nutrients are apparently more available.
Spiced Veg
2 onions, chopped
1 head of garlic, peeled & sliced
2 carrots sliced
4 sticks celery, sliced
1 small-medium sweet potato, chopped
1 potato, chopped
1/2 small butternut squash, chopped
3 baby eggplants, chopped
water
Put a couple of tablespoons of water in a large soup pan, heat on medium add veg in order one at a time. Sweat a few mins
Add
2 tbsp ground corriander
1-2 tsp cumin
1-2 tsp cardamon
1-2 tsp garam masala
a shake of gound cayenne - depends how hot you like it
Stir & sweat a bit more to remove rawness of spices.
Add
Water to cover
2 veg stock cubes
small tin black beans or chickpeas or other favourite beans.
Bring to boil, cover & simmer for 40 mins
Sever with spouted rice, quinoa & lentils or you favourite rice or quinoa.
