I love cabbage! I cut up smoked kielbasa and fry it and add chopped head of cabbage with chicken stock. I cook a bag of extra wide noodles/drain and add it to the kielbasa/cabbage. One of our favorite meals:) I edit to say that we grate a carrot into our chili as we use that instead of sugar for the tomato acid.)
Great idea! Carrot instead of sugar - Thanks! I love cabbage, potatoes and sausage, all cooked up together with cornbread (if I am in the mood to make!!). Sometimes I'll add green beans.
I cook smoked kielbasa, cabbage, onions sliced, carrots sliced, olive oil & a bit of butter with a tablespoon of fennel. I also add some egg noodles to the skillet and let it simmer. Oooo good for the family. Plus healthy!
Re: lentil soaking. I've found that soaking brown lentils in broth (not stock) or just some salted water, results in "pulling out" some of the bitterness people detect in them. If you slow cook them on low in either of these liquids it's really obvious because there will be a dark layer on the top of the liquid. I remove that dark layer before straining. I've gotten people that said they hated lentils to like them due to this. Not sure if you've tried it, before, but perhaps it may help someone else that struggles with enjoying these incredible bubbles of beauty.
This is a great suggestion! I'll have to try it. The only regular mix I've done with red lentils so far is yellow split peas (it makes a really nice curry). @@katv1195
I love this channel. I buy this things but never realized how healthy they are. This gives me an ideal of what to focus on. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us.
Red lentils is brown lentils with the husks removed. That’s why they cook quickly and can be a “creamy” component in dishes. Nice video, perfect for this time of year.❤
With all due respect, that's not true. There are many, many different kinds of lentils in all shades of yellow, orange, red, green, brown, black. These are all distinctly different varieties of 'pea'.
I love making lentil soup❣️I am constantly creating new versions with a base of onions, carrots and celery 😋 Along with baking bread and gingerbread, soup sounds good on this cloudy and future rainy day in San Francisco…🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Hi Lisa. You’re right about the almonds. A couple of handfuls a day and I don’t even need a raincoat. The BC rain just dances off my smooth skin. Lol. Great video. Your table lamps are very cool.
I have been experimenting with organic red lentils. I made burgers the other day that were very tasty. I took 3 cups of red lentils and soaked them in salt free organic chicken broth for a couple of hours. Then I drained them and put them in a food processor to grind them not to mush but to break them up so they will stick together. Then I added one tblsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp garlic, two tblsp himalayan salt, 1/3 c nutritional yeast 1/3 cand bread crumbs. Form into patties and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 mins 400 degrees, flip and cook for 15-20 mins more until golden brown. These are crunchy and full of flavor, if heat isnt liked just reduce the red cayenne. These are seriously yummy and I'm sure that one could use organic beef broth and other spices to make a more beef flavored burger if so inclined.
Lisa, just found your channel. I really like the combination of home and hearth comfort feeling combined with helpful nutritional information. Thank you for sharing and I’ll be looking for more!!
Lenticchie (lentils) are a staple of my weekly diet. Either lentil soup (which I make a double batch and freeze in an airtight glass container) or Pasta Lenticchie which is also easy and freezes well. These are truly Italian comfort foods. A dietician once taught me to eat a citrus fruit after any bean dish....it helps the body to better absorb the iron content and aids in fending off anemia. Tonight a batch of pasta fagiole (we say fazul) is cooking in the crockpot. A cara cara orange should be the perfect complement. Buon apettito! Saluti da NY!
sounds delicious...we are clearly both lentil lovers lol! I have another recipe I'll be posting soon with lentils that's kind of unique...hopefully you will love that too :)
i eat coleslaw mix & spring mix together ( not cooked - raw) with a serving of cottage cheese and a few cherry tomatoes 🍅 no dressing - sooo good ! thank you for sharing your research with us !
Oh, yes.... green cabbage is fairly regularly in my shopping cart to make homemade coleslaw. On occasion I'll saute it to crisp tender stage and add a bit of butter, salt and a dash of red pepper flakes. I'm a big fan of peanuts for good fat and plant protein.
Fantastic! Your recipe is so approachable. I could make it tonight! Thank you for being calm and relatable. P.S. Avocado Oil as Night Cream is SO good! 😊
This was a great video with so much valuable information. Thanks Lisa! I throw in a handful of lentils when I make a beef stew to add some more good nutrition to it. I’ll have to try your soup.
Thanks Lisa!! Hopefully you will do a second video to this one to finish off the list of foods that are healthy. I was thinking too if you use an emersion blender this could become a creamy lentil soup. Happy holidays 🎄
Hack: Open both ends of the tomato paste can, push one side through. Either use it all, or use the amount you need and store rest in a small container. The zuppa looks humble and amazing.
As always Lisa so enjoyed your video. My only complaint is there too short, lol. Feels like time spent with an old friend. Am going to try your lentil soup recipe tomorrow for supper. Have some on the shelf and don’t use them often enough. We love soups and have them often. I we use meat more as a seasoning rather than the main course. I wish you and all your viewers a very Merry Christmas. God bless.
Excellent info! Lentil soup is a fav in our family, comfort food indeed, and yours looks beautiful...I am making a big vat of it this weekend, it freezes well!
Wow, I just discovered you. Thank you for all of the amazing ideas and information. I love your cooking and cleaning ideas especially. God bless and I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Hugs from Arizona. P.S. Of course we have quite a few Canadians living here. Awesome folks.
Hiya Lisa, I've just found and subscribed to your channel it's just what I want. I'm over here in England and the prices have become riduculous in comparison to three years ago. Thank you, David. ❤
Thank you for sharing this critical information!! Yes please soak your beans not just for texture but also for digestability and phytonutrients. Good video!
Thank you so much Lisa for this valuable information. Will be trying your soup recipe this winter for sure. I made the olive tapenade for a christmas party and it was a huge hit. Never made it before but now I will. Merry Christmas to you and your Family. From a fellow Canadian in Ontario.
I just love you. You're videos are so nice. You are so articulate and smile through every word. You take such good care of yourself and you always look so pretty. I really enjoy your presentation's. God Bless You. Those little oil lights on the table are so pretty too. Thank You for sharing.❤
I just found your channel. We have a tomato allergy and I just wanted to add we use plain pumpkin or red pepper paste in place of the tomato and really enjoy it. I know it is not traditional, but it works well for us.
Excellent and practical ideas! I’ve been using cabbage and spinach and whatever is left in the garden these last two winters. So yummy. I’m going to try the green tea. Thank you!🌲🐇
Thank you for this! I have been looking for ways to save, but still eat healthy. My diet has not been so good; my mother would not be happy if she were alive! My mom was Sicilian and my Dad Naples. So you know I used to eat well.
The cheapest healthy foods come unaltered and directly from fields, forests, meadows and roadsides... nettles, dandelions, blackberries and their leaves as tea and of course from spices grown in the garden, balcony or windowsill such as thyme, sage, rosemary, etc.
Lucky me. I have all ingredients on hand to make your soup. Cold day here . Your soup for dinner tonight with french bread made yesterday. Love your beautiful home. A big Thank You😊
You can really cook healthy with dry veggies. Split pea, lentil soup, variety of dried beans, rice. I look for sales on chicken or pork to make stews or make pots of chili. I get great deals on day old bread and bags of fresh veggies marked down because they're slightly damaged. I roast chilies and tomatoes and make salsas, or freeze them for later use. My New Year resolution is to not eat out as often, it's gotten ridiculous. If we do, it's with a Groupon or gift cards I buy to help with gas discounts.
