This week's
GOMB soup was inspired by a recent
short clip from Dr. Gregor on the vegetables with the most antioxidant benefit. Eggplant was very high on the list so that was my featured veggie in addition to GOMBs, oh and tomatoes. I also used a recipe from the Fuhrman forums as inspiration (
here, if you are a member). I thought this turned out really nicely. I snapped some pictures but must have forgot to save them so I don't have them. It made 14 servings! I might have 2 servings a day because they are fairly low-calorie and it might satisfy me more to have a bowl at lunch and dinner. Anyway, getting to the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb black beans (or any other kind)
1 eggplant
1-2 bunches collards or kale
2 onions
1/2-1 lb mushrooms, any kind, I did a variety
2 16-oz cans tomatoes
1 Tbsp oregano
2-3 tsp cumin
lots of garlic (I got rid of a bunch, must have been about 6 cloves)
2 Tbsp date syrup
I cooked the beans for 2 hours; chopped the collards, eggplant, onions and garlic in the food processor, added to the beans and cooked for another 1-2 hours. I added the mushrooms too after chopping the other foods, added the tomatoes in the last half hour; added the date syrup at the end.
