Delicious macrobiotic style lunch

Delicious macrobiotic style lunch! Made a giant pot of Nishime, a traditional macrobiotic dish of stewed vegetables slowly cooked in a little water. When you cook your veggies this way they become sweet and buttery soft and are warming and grounding for your body.

Directions:

1. In a big pot add about an inch or two of water and set on high.
2. Chop veggies.
3. Layer them into the pot from densest to lightest – squashes and yams on the bottom to onions and Brussels or broccoli on top for example.
4. Lower the temperature to mid-low heat and cover.
5. Cook until veggies are soft, about 10-30 minutes depending on veggies and how patient you are.
6. Check once or twice to make sure you don’t need to add more water to pot.
7. Serve with toppings of choice – here I used sea salt, unrefined sesame oil and tamari and added a boiled eggy!
