ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 1⁄2 head garlic
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 large carrots
- 1⁄4 cup olives or 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste
- 5 bay leaves
- 3⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 whole cabbage
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
directions
- Boil two quarts of water in a kettle.
- Dice 2 large onions and 1/2 head of garlic.
- Slice 2 stalks of celery and 2 large carrots.
- Cover the bottom of an 8-quart pot with olive or grape seed oil and stir-fry the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots. Add at least a tablespoon of sea salt and lots of black pepper. When hot, not tender, pour in the boiling water and boil another kettle of water.
- Add tomato paste, 5 bay leaves, 3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the pot and boil.
- Slice a whole cabbage as small as you'll be comfortable eating. Put it in the pot as you get it sliced, and add the second kettle of water after it's boiling.
- If you have fresh parsley, chop a good bunch inches Otherwise throw in a handful of dried parsley.
- Cover the pot and boil the heck out of it. It's done when the celery is no longer hard and the thick parts of the cabbage are a bit translucent. The pot can cool overnight on the counter before you store it in the fridge.

My partner pressed me to put up a web site to share what he experiences as my extremely efficient system for simplifying a big chunk of life. I have two bachelor sons who admit they rely heavily on frozen meals. I hope that some or all of the site will provide a gateway into a mostly plant-based diet for a few people. Then I'll feel like I contributed more than just the reduced footprints of two people in rural Canada. I was already pulling the site together when I saw the 10:10 idea, (www.10:10Global.org) so it seemed like as good a thing as any to hang my program on. I hope they don't mind.
