Red cabbage cooked with red onion and plum - yum!

I’ve started adding fruit to cooked vegetable dishes and I have to say they taste rather lovely! During the summer I was adding lots of fruit into my salads, be they goji berries, strawberries or pears.  As the nights draw in, I’m carrying that over into my cooked vegetable dishes. So next time you’re stir-frying some vegetables or making a vegetable based casserole try adding in a little chopped apple, pear, whole lemon or plum. They add a real zest to the dish and of course with the added colour, that equals more phytonutrients with all their wonderful restorative functions in the body.

The photo is of a red cabbage dish with added plum, but try it with whatever fruits you have to hand. Enjoy!

Fast and healthy supper

This literally takes 10 minutes from start to finish, in fact, it’s taken longer to photograph, write up and post. It’s  delicious, a slow release of energy and packed full of fibre & nutrients. It can be recreated with any mixture of vegetables and beans:

Heat olive oil in a pan, add some cumin seeds, saute half a diced onion, add a sliced leek, and a chunk of diced or grated fresh ginger. Cook until soft and then add a handful of chopped spinach leaves and some cooked (or tinned) sweetcorn & black beans from a carton (any other beans or lentils will do). Add a little water and heat through. To season, pour a little of the water from the pan into a dish, mix in with a teaspoon of miso paste and put back in the pan to stir through. Serve.

Wash the curly kale, chop off the thick stalks and chop or rip up. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it in to make sure it covers all the leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt (Himalayan is the best), some diced garlic and dried chilli. Pop in a pre-heated oven and cook for a few minutes; you want the kale to be crisp but not burnt. Serve as a side dish.

The results are pretty impressive. They’ve found 3.3 million different genes from the samples taken, that’s 150 times more genes than in the human genome. About 40% of those are shared with at least 50% of the group, so we all have a core of the same bacteria in out guts. Each individual in the study has at least 160 different bacterial species.

One of the objectives of the study is to look at the function of these bacteria and work out which are contributing to our health and which seem to be more present in those with bowel disease or with obesity. That part of the study is on-going, but what they have revealed a functional core within the microbial genes, functions which are required for the whole ecosystem the ‘minimal human gut metagenome’. This set of functions is 3 times larger than had been previously thought. So this human host-bacterial interaction is clearly instrumental to our health yet we still have so much more to learn about it.
