Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat
Once the oil is heated, add the okra and lime juice. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the onion, garlic, hot peppers (optional), turmeric, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until onions become translucent
Add turnip greens and roselle greens then sautéed until wilted about 5-7 minutes.
Serve over rice, quinoa, or the grain of your choice and enjoy!
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat and sauté zucchini cubes until golden, about 1-2 minutes
In the same pan, add a little more oil and sauté eggplant, onion, peppers and okra until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes
Next add the tomato, water, thyme, oregano, garlic, salt and black pepper then bring to a low simmer
Cook stirring occasionally until all vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes
Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle freshly chopped fresh basil. ENJOY!
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium to high heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil, then add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until crisp-tender.
Add the lentils, potatoes and chicken or vegetable stock, starting out with about 6 cups. Stir in the wine. Add the bay leaf and thyme. Let come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered until lentils are tender and done, about 1 1/2 hours. *Be careful to watch the liquid level and add more stock as needed. Stir occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When lentils are done, mash the potatoes against the side of the pan with a spoon then stir them. This will make it creamy. Stir in the turnip and mustard greens. Let come to a boil again, then simmer for about 30 minutes.
Top with a scoop of brown rice and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
We suggest that replacing white rice with brown rice is a healthier option.
