Hello everyone again! I really didn't expect that the forum is so active. It's very nice
Day 3 - basically clean
Breakfast: oats
Lunch: rice, soup, split peas, croutons, 2 slices of bread
Dinner: 2 cups of oat milk, banana, 2 slices of bread, 2 tsp of sugar and later more soup with croutons.
Activities:
Walking: 60 minutes
Easy running: 30 minutes
The recipe for soup is from Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz. There's great recipe for borscht, soup with soured beets (highly recommended!). I just replaced soured beets with sauerkraut.
2-3 onions, chopped
2 tbsp oil (I omit this, because of no oil rule, and without oil I like it more)
2 carrots, chopped
2 cups diced potatoes
2 cups soured beets or sauerkraut
6 cups/1.5 liters water
1 tbsp caraway seeds (I omit this, don't like the final flavour)
He advices to chop and saute onions first until browned. I just chop and measure everything and put into a pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for 20-30 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots become soft.
Both soured beets and sauerkraut versions go very well with homemade croutons, especially rye. It adds a lot of nice roasted bread flavour. I put a small handful into a bowl with soup and wait a few minutes to rehydrate.
Sauerkraut version also goes very well with split peas, especially slightly overcooked, when it almost turned into puree. Chickpeas, white beans, red and yellow lentils should work also, though I haven't tried these yet. But red or black beans, or green lentils is better to use in another recipes, they don't combine very well.
I discovered this recipe a few months ago and this winter it's been one of the greatest pleasure for me. To come home from freezing temperature after a walk or a run, fill a bowl with soup, to put croutons on one half and a few tablespoons of split peas on another half. To smell this blend of flavours and enjoy this very warming and very filling meal.
