CABBAGE & MEAT: A Stir Fry ‘Home-Run’


We have been serving this stir-fry style dish for years and it always hits a home run.

Ingredients

2 T. oil (coconut, peanut, olive oil, or some other healthy oil)
1 onion, chopped finely
2-3 cloves of garlic
1-2 carrots, grated or chopped small
3 celery ribs, chopped finely
500 to 750 grams of mince (ground) meat: beef, chicken breast, or turkey
1/2 cup of rice, preferably long-grain (basmati, jasmine, or similar)
2 chicken stock cubes or a packet of dry chicken noodle soup
2 cups of liquid chicken stock
2 T. curry powder
1 cup water
1/2 cabbage, cored and shredded
1-2 spring (green) onions for garnish (optional)

Directions

1.    Heat a wok or frying pan with oil, using medium to high heat. Pan fry onions, garlic, carrots and celery for 3 minutes. Add meat and cook for 5 minutes, making sure the mince is broken up. Drain excess fat.
2.    To this mixture add rice, stock cubes/soup mix, liquid chicken stock, water and curry powder. Stir thoroughly.
3.    Allow to boil and immediately reduce heat to simmer. Cover and allow to cook at low heat for 20-25 minutes. Stir from time to time so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
4.    Shredded cabbage: add either at the beginning of the simmer, during the simmer, or at the very end. Stir it through the mixture and serve immediately. Salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Taming the Tiger: Lessons We Can Learn from the Trials of Tiger Woods

He may be the world’s greatest and richest golfer. He may have charmed Australia during his recent tournament visit, which the Herald Sun said that he was welcomed back anytime. Then came the car crash, the rumors, followed by a parade of girlfriends coming out of the woodwork. The revelations did not come as a drip-drip but more like a deluge. Tiger Woods, with that big winning smile, winning swing, and clean-cut family friendly image had been revealed as a serial adulterer. You don’t even have to have an interest in golf to know that Tiger Woods was a golfing winner -- but now he looks like a humiliated loser on the home front. He may have gained the whole world but lost his marriage. Apart from being fodder for late night talkshow hosts and some humorous headlines like: Tiger or Cheetah? Tiger Shows His True Stripes Too Crowded in Tiger’s Lair Lust in the Woods Some incredibly serious issue emerge. CELEBRITY STATUS : Society is enamoured with celebrities and success; in m...

The Shooting of Donald Trump: Who’s To Blame?

Part One of Two Parts It was only a matter of time. This dreadful event had been predicted and prophesied. Prayer alerts went out to pray for supernatural protection. Then, on Saturday night, July 13th 2024, at an outdoor campaign rally for Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, several shots rang out. Pandemonium briefly ensued, and three men in the audience were hit. One of the men, Corey Camperatori, 50, an ex-fire chief, an enthusUS Election,iastic churchgoer and a family man, was fatally wounded while using his body to shield his wife and daughter. The other two were seriously injured but expected to recover. A bullet hit Trump but grazed his right ear; he missed death by millimetres.   What was at stake was more than the life of a prominent politician. America’s future hung in the balance with the prospect of civil war not far away. Unfortunately, assassinations and attempted assassinations are not a new phenomena. Four US Presidents were assassinated: Abraham Lincoln (1865); ...

Middle East At War? Insights from Zechariah 12

We have been exploring the topic of today's Middle East war and how it compares with end-time prophecy. One of the prophetic signs Jesus predicted in the days before His second coming was ‘ wars and rumours of wars ’ (Matthew 24:6). Tragic as it may be, on the positive side it is part of the birth pangs of the coming kingdom. One of the key prophets regarding the last days and Armageddon is Zechariah, He gave some great prophecies of the first coming of Jesus (like the triumphal entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey and His betrayal for thirty pieces of silver). Here is a key prophecy about the events leading to the second coming of Christ: Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together...
