Since I’ll be farmers’ market shopping in the morning, today I decided to do another “Clean my Refrigerator Meal.” I was fortunate to see a beautiful organic purple cabbage from one of my local Arizona farmers. Rather than eat it raw in a salad or as a wrap, I quickly sautéed the purple cabbage and enjoyed it with a few of my other left-overs: Black Beluga Lentils, Rose Brown Rice, and an avocado.
Let’s look at the natural beauty of the Purple Cabbage.
Mindfully pause and enjoy the art in food.
SIMPLE INGREDIENTS
- ½ purple cabbage
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 avocado
- ½ cup black Beluga lentils
- ¼ cup rose brown rice (all that was left)
- 1 avocado
- 1 tsp basil extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black sesame seeds
- Few basil leaves
