#ChopChopToday: Saving the lives of Women who cannot cook!!!

Rice is eaten by virtually everyone across the globe. While growing up I used to think that Nigerians love eating rice a lot, but when I started getting exposed to different people from various cultures, I realized that rice is eaten by almost everyone.
We normally cook rice in different ways, i.e. White rice and stew, Jollof rice, Fried rice, Tuwon rice and most times it becomes boring.

I started looking for a different way to eat rice but with a more healthy option. Then I discovered the cabbage sauce that could be eaten with white rice. Though there is nothing special about it, but some may like it.

You would need:
1 cabbage
2 carrots
1/2 pack of green beans
1/2 cup of peas
1 tomato
1 onion
4 seasoning cubes
spices
1 mercurial fish
vegetable oil
curry
salt and pepper.

Directions:
Wash the cabbage and slice it [finely chopped],

Then wash the green beans, carrot and peas.

Chop the green beans and carrot how you want it [your desired shape] and set aside.

Slice onion, wash the fish and cut it and spice it using salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, 1 seasoning cube, ground coriander and ground nutmeg].
Allow to marinate for 5 minutes, then put some vegetable oil in the pan or pot [depending on what you want to use].

When the oil is hot enough, start frying.

And when it is well fried, take out and set aside, using the same oil add the onions and some garlic.
Then add the chopped tomatoes and keep frying.

Add the diced carrot, green beans and peas keep stirring allow to cook for 1 minute.

Also add the seasoning cube, salt, pepper, curry and spices.

Allow to cook for another 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat and add the cabbage.

Add half cup of water allow to steam and cook for 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to get soft [depending how you want it].

When it is ready add the fish and serve with the boiled rice and enjoy.
