Today we’re going to get you warmed up with some spicy mango and curly kale!
What you’ll need:
1 serving vegetables (curly kale, the white part of leek, button mushrooms)
1 serving diced mango
Spices: sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, 1 clove of garlic, 1 chili pepper (to taste), 2cm (about 1″) fresh ginger root, 2 whole green cardamom pods, some coconut oil, 50 ml vegetable stock
What to do: clean, wash and coarsely chop the cabbage. Halve leek, wash and finely chop. Clean mushrooms with kitchen towel and cut in quarters. Halve the chili pepper lengthwise and remove seeds, cut into fine cubes. Peel garlic and ginger and dice finely.
Heat the oil and gently sauté garlic, ginger and leek until translucent, add chili and cracked cardamom pods. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chopped cabbage and cook for another 3 minutes. Deglaze with vegetable stock and simmer for 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add half a serving of diced fresh mango (you can enjoy the rest of the mango as a dessert). Bring to the boil again and season to taste. Serve with the protein of your choice, e.g. legumes, fish, tofu. Enjoy!
