Boiled Rice
To reduce the arsenic levels, I have started cooking my rice like pasta.

• How to Cook Rice to Lower Arsenic Levels
Pan Seared Mushrooms
3 tsps of coconut aminos or soy sauce
1/4 to 1/2 cup of low sodium veggie broth
1-8 oz package of mushrooms, sliced ( I used white mushrooms)
In a very hot non-stick skillet, add the veggie broth and coconut aminos/soy sauce. Lay the sliced mushrooms flat and allow them to cook and soak up all the liquid. I usually turn the eye back down to a low-medium heat while they are absorbing the liquid.
Hoppin John
2 carrots, diced
2 cloves of garlic, diced
4 stalks of celery, diced
1/2 a white onion, diced
low sodium veggie broth
1 frozen bag of peas ( I used purple hull, the classic choice is black eyed peas)
1 can of diced tomatoes
2 tsps tomato powder, (optional)
1 tsp of smoked paprika
black pepper to taste
cayenne to taste
1 tsp of chili powder
Move the mushrooms over to the side, and in the same pan add in some more veggie broth. This will be to saute the other veggies. Add all the veggies above, and saute in with the mushrooms until they become tender.
Once the veggies are tender, you can transfer to a pot if you like to cook the peas.
Add in 2 cups of veggie broth, the can of tomatoes, the peas, and spices.
Allow to cook for 45 minutes or until the peas are tender and cooked through.
Serve over rice. I like to add pickled jalapenos and the pepper sauce from the pickled peppers. I also like to serve with pepper jelly. Use what condiments you like and make it your own! I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Sauteed Greens
Simply use the greens you would like, but here is the recipe I used for ours.
Green Cabbage, sliced thin
1 Turnip, shaved and sliced thin
Japanese purple mustard greens
giant southern mustard greens
variety of kale
Alabama blue collard greens
All greens were washed and cut up into little bite sized pieces.
Dry saute the cabbage and turnips until they begin to brown. Once they are browned, add the other greens in to wilt. I also add a very generous amount of Trader Joe's 21 seasoning salute seasoning. You can make this your own though and season it however you like!
