BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES

January 22, 2016 By DIYBITES

Braised Red Cabbage with Apples DIYBITES

Look at how pretty this looks 💜 What’s up with these awesome colors? Well, the purple color from red cabbage comes from these badass pigment molecules called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins pigments also produce magenta, pink, and red colors in plants and you can see them in leaves and flower petals.

Red cabbage is a rich source of fiber, iron, vitamin C and vitamin A. It actually has 10 times more Vitamin A and twice as much iron as green cabbage. This recipe calls for vinegar. And that’s for two reasons: it tastes realreal good and because normally, red cabbage would turn blue when cooked 😀

Fun fact. Because red cabbage contains anthocyanins, its juice can be used as a pH indicator. Red, purple or magenta in acids  [pH < 7], purple in neutral solutions [pH ~ 7], and ranges from blue-green-yellow in alkaline solutions [pH > 7]. Yup, science. Recipe and nutritional information below. 👇

VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS WITH KIDNEY BEANS, SWEET CORN AND CASHEW

December 4, 2015 By DIYBITES

Vegan stuffed peppers with kidney beans, sweet corn, and cashew

So I made these. And they were awesome. And vegan. Like, really awesome and really vegan 🙆. I chose yellow bell peppers because of their sweetness, however, the red ones will work as well. I’m really into adding cashew to various recipes these days, and found this mix works like magic. They don’t take long to cook and can be served as a main dish, but also as a starter or a side dish. Or you could serve it as a starter, a main, and a side dish. You might.

  3. Sift the flour and the baking powder into the bowl and add a pinch of salt.
  4. If batter is too hard to stir, add a few tbsp of water. However, the consistency of the batter should be a bit harder than the usual muffin batter.
