There are quite a few threads about how to eat, what to eat. But I couldn't find any on how to cook all that "good" food.
So to kick of this thread here's a recipe I make regularly.
It's a simple Minestone soup and if you cut out the spuds and pasta it's a really satisfying low carb, low GI meal that can be made in bulk and kept in the fridge/freeze and heated up as a between meal filler or a meal in itself.... and it's cheap too.
Minestrone
250ml chicken (or veg) stock
1 can tomatoes
1 small can of kidney beans or a couple of handful of dried kidney beans soaked in water over night
(any beans can be used)
100g cabbage, shredded?100g carrots, cubed
1 large potato, peeled and diced (optional)
A handful of dried pasta (optional)
100g long beans, cut in pieces?3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil (MUST)
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped?1 clove garlic, chopped
2 sticks celery coarsely chopped (I include the leaves)
Chopped pepperoni (optional)
Salt n Pepper
If using dried kidney beans cook in the stock for 30 minutes. If using canned, add with rest of fresh ingredients.
Heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a saucepan and cook the onion and garlic on low heat until golden.?
Add kidney beans, stock, canned tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, potato, long beans; add salt to taste.?
Cook for 45 minutes.
Add the celery and cook for a further 15 minutes.
