Cabbage, Potato and Chicken Stew

I don't see the cabbage but I know, I put it in.
I am not a big fan of stews but with chicken, this one took on a whole different look and taste.  It was much lighter than the beef stews, I have made and I liked each of the ingredients.  My preference for chicken and turkey over beef has come about in the past few years and with our affection for vegetables.

 I found this recipe of COOKstr. It was meant for a pressure cooker but I chose to make it in a pot.  It did not seem it would take that long.


Ingredients




1 medium-size onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 medium-size carrots, sliced


1 large parsnip, sliced

½ small head green cabbage, shredded
4 medium-size potatoes
1 can (14½ ounces) stewed tomatoes
2 cups water
3 chicken cutlets, cut into small pieces (about an inch square)
¼ cup fresh dill or parsley leaves (optional)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Method:

Heat oil in large pot. Add the onion and stir it around until it is coated with the oil. Reduce the heat to low and sauté gently, stirring every now and then, until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Scrub and quarter the potatoes. Add all the vegetables to the pot along with the stewed tomatoes and water. Bring the liquid to a simmer over high heat.

Add the pieces of chicken to the pot. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile mince or, easier yet, finely snip the dill, if using, with scissors.



Add the lemon juice and dill to the pot, stir, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
