How about a list of recipies for beefing up our old pal without beef, things that will pink him up and pick him up, while keeping the ticker (now quiet litterally!) ticking away!
Catspaw Heart Healthy Soup Stock...
Take one hugeassed pot...
Chop up a HUGE white onion, Chop up LOTS of fresh garlic...
Two spoons of olive oil into the pot...
Sautee the choped stuff...
Add some water, not a lot cause lots of other stuff has to go in, say 1/4 of the pot...
Chop up a red cabbage (nice spicy gassy one trow it into the pot
Chop up some mushrooms, chop up some tomatos, chop up some green and red pepers, chop up some fingers... no don't do that... (mec jal a rachasa <- a little Romani curse removal for the last bit...) throw into the pot with a package of mixed beans... throw in some chopped colliflower...
fill up to the top, almost with water
Boil... then simmer, or as they say in Ireland...
Bile da bugger den let it bibble...
Cool stick in the fridge.
Each night laddle out some into a pot as a base for other soups... LIKE
Chicken Eggplant Spaw Fuel Soup...
Throw a skinned (skint for our Irish catters) chicken breast, boneless into a smaller pot, with some olive oil, about two spoons, sautee, brown, sizzle etc.
Fill up the pot with some of the soup stock above (which you now have in your fridge)
Add chopped eggplant (aubergene or how ever the hell you spell it in Ireland and England)... Ten munites before serving, throw a handfull of mixed pasta in...
Place in your mouth after blowing on it a bit...
Cheers
Larry
OH If ya like spices put in some Hot sause, or some cumin, or whatever.... curry powder! Add spices with gay abandon (as a certain piper says about reed making)
