Perfect for cooler weather and keeping the immune system strong. Wonderful flavor and nutrition with such little effort
involved. Another plus is that it serves 2 complete meals.
Recipe: Serves 2 meals for 6-8 people
1 whole organic chicken - skinned
3 lbs. organic sweet potatoes - peeled and diced into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 whole organic green cabbage - chopped into 2 inch pieces
2 organic onions - diced
4-5 cloves of organic garlic - minced
1/2 cup organic soy sauce
2 cups organic apple juice OR apple sauce OR 2-3 apples grated
4 tbsp. organic rubbed sage
1 tbsp. organic ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp. organic thyme
1 tsp. organic lemon pepper
3 bay leaves
6 quart crock pot
This is a layered recipe. First put the skinned chicken, breast side up, in crock pot and then add the sweet potatoes around the edges.
Then add the onions, garlic, seasonings, soy sauce and the apple juice or apple sauce ( I used apple sauce this time).
Then pack the cabbage on the top - as much as you can, but make sure the
lid will sit properly sealed.
Add enough water to be close to the top, but not enough to make it leak out when cooking.
Cover and cook on high for about 3 1/2 hours. Then you will need to use
tongs to take the cabbage out and put into a bowl and then remove the
chicken to a cutting board to cool some. Remove bay leaves.
Add the cabbage back into the crock pot and stir through.
When chicken is cool enough, then pick the meat and roughly chop and then
add back into stew. Ready to serve. Enjoy!
Tips: You can use red or yellow potatoes if you want. Although the flavor will be different.
You can also add some Red Miso into this for extra flavor and nutrition.
Collagen stock: After picking the chicken. put all the bones back into the crock pot and add a few cloves of garlic, a halved onion, a few small stalks
of celery and pour enough water over this to cover - about 1/3 of the pot,
with a dollop of organic red wine vinegar.
Cook on low over night for about 12-18 hours - super healthy!
Strain and use as needed. Great for drinking, especially if ill.
Use in making rice, quinoa, millet, sauces, and gravies.
Freeze in 2 cup portions.
