Recovery Vegan Stew
Recovery Vegan Stew
Original recipe from my good friend, Dave Williams, Thailand, "I call this 'Recovery Stew' because it is high in carbs with a good percentage of amino acids (protein) and a healthy mix of a lot of different minerals. There are, additionally, a lot of antioxidants in these ingredients, so it helps your body to recover from exercise by both replacing what you've used and by adding nutrients that you might not have had in your system."

Ingredients
- 1 cup organic Jasmin rice, cooked
- 1 can Garbanzo beans (chickpeas), do not drain, or 1½ cups cooked with broth, Shortcut
- ¼ yellow bell pepper, diced
- 6 medium okra, sliced in large pieces
- 1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon Goji berries
- 1 tablespoon Flax seed
- 1 tablespoon Black Sesame seed
- 3 tablespoons Golden Mountain Spicy tomato sauce, it is not really that spicy
- sea salt and white pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Chaat Masala, Indian spice, optional
Instructions
- Add cooked rice and Garbanzo beans (with liquid from can) to a big pot and cook on low. Cover the pot. Cook for about 15 minutes or so on very low heat. Add additional water as needed to maintain a good stew consistency.
