The Power of 10 – An Easy Recipe that Supercharges Your Immunity with 10 Delicious & Healthy Plant Foods

Casserole for the Soul (easy 1-pot recipe):

1. Lightly sauté in olive oil, coconut oil or butter in a deep pan: leeks or red onion, garlic, fresh ginger
2. Add organic whole chicken into this same pan. (If you are vegetarian or vegan, add 2-3 handfuls of washed, uncooked legumes e.g. red lentils, split peas
3. Then add in 7-10 more chopped vegetables e.g. swede, carrots, fennel, potato, shitake mushrooms, cabbage, kale, broccoli, courgette, red pepper. (Literally any vegetables that you have in your fridge should work)
4. Add water to the pan to completely cover all the ingredients, mix in chicken or vegetable stock, and bring to the boil. Then turn heat down to a strong simmer keeping the lid on to keep in the nutrients
5. After 1 hour taste and adjust flavours by adding a large sprinkle of many herbs and spices e.g. paprika, cumin, coriander, chili, sage. If not using chicken, your cooking time will be reduced to as long as the legumes take to soften.
6. Can serve now or keep simmering for up to 2 hours. (Chicken should be very succulent and easily fall off the bones. Add a generous serving to each bowl). Now you have the option to get even more nutrients out of your chicken by quickly making a bone broth. You will have lots left over to put into portions and freeze for a rainy day.

Bone broth (optional add if using a whole chicken)

• Once all the meat is removed from the chicken, put all the bones, cartilage and skin into a deep pan, cover with 1.5 litres of water.
• Add 2 tbsp of cider vinegar, 1 roughly chopped carrot, onion, celery stick and black pepper. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 48 hours. Liquid will condense and darken to form a nutrient enriched broth. This fluid can be sieved and stored in cup size servings (I use jars) in the freezer for many months. Perfect for when you are unwell or need a nutritious pick me up.

Enjoy!
