Delicious! Served it with acorn squash like you suggested. Perfect, hearty meal for the now chilly weather.

What you can do is give your fruits and veggies a good scrub. You could also use a vegetable wash (try and get organic) to remove the pesticides/other chemicals. As long as you give them a good cleaning, you should be okay. However, I assume you have already tied to do this; tell them how silly they sound. Peeling the vegetables and fruits because of chemicals, when the simpler solution would be to just buy organic.

I had a general question about cooking with fruits and vegetables. Currently I live in a situation where I don’t buy the produce I eat and it is definitely not organic, though generally local. I always have this disagreement with the people I live with – they believe it is better to skin all vegetables to decrease contact with pesticides (which would be conveniently solved by not buying pesticide-ridden foods in the first place) and I hesitate with peeling because 1. the flavour and colour is better with the skin on 2. I was always taught that most of the good stuff lives in the skin of our fruits and veggies. The compromise I make is skinning half the produce in question, but I am interested to know in this case what you think is more important: potentially removing nutritional value to avoid some contact with pesticides or leaving the sprayed skin (washing) and still getting the nutrients? Thanks a ton!

I tried the recipe and just wanted to share my results: I made it with only half the spices listed (was missing a few from my pantry…) AND helped myself to a serving after only half an hour, and it was still so good! I cooked the rest for the full 2 hours, and it was even better.Such a lovely rich flavour, just the cabbage itself has such a great taste when cooked!

I can hardly wait for the next recipe!
