Primed Cabbage Carbonara

Here’s a great Primed Cabbage Carbonara dish involving 2 of my favorites: Bacon and Coconut Milk. You can easily substitute the chicken for the bacon or go vegetarian by adding roasted squash/pumpkin.

Ingredients:

Cabbage Carbonara9

1 large head of cabbage (take out the core)
lots of onions
lots of garlic (the more the merrier)
some green chilis
some red chilis (if you like extra spice in your life)
1/2 to full cup of coconut milk (depending upon how saucy you want your dish)
5 to 6 pieces of quality bacon (we buy ours from S&R)

Method:

1. Cut your cabbage into long strips. Dice your onions, garlic, green and red chilis.

2. Steam your cabbage until it is wilted but not too soft. Fry your pieces of bacon at the same time.

The Primed Lifestyle does not have to be expensive or difficult. Whether you are single, constantly travelling, working so hard, are very busy etc. you can maintain this healthier lifestyle. It is a simple matter of always having good food in your fridge and pantry and none of the harmful stuff that makes people sick then fat.

The Primed Lifestyle allows you, your loved ones, and your pets as well, to do the following:

Primed Kimbap Wraps

My favorite is so easy and so simple yet absolutely delicious. Primed Kimbap Wraps are fabulous and loved by everyone who tries them.

All you need to do is visit your local Korean Grocery and buy items like Nori Sheets, Kelp Sheets, Kimchi and other Primed items.

Then you simply need some other ingredients like canned salmon, sardines or mackerel in olive oil, tuna in olive oil or water, cucumber, carrots, cream cheese, spinach leaves, lettuce leaves and even fried eggs.

You can also buy a sushi mat but not really necessary.

Primed Curried Vegetables in Coconut Milk

I used to eat pasta but now I would never eat pasta again because it is such a highly processed nutrient deficient frankenfood. I prefer real food with real flavor that offers more nutrients to better help my mind and body, keep my blood sugars constant and help build my immune system.

Instead of GMO pasta made from the seeds of grasses you can substitute it with cabbage. Here are a few variations of Primed Cabbage “pasta” dishes.

Ingredients

cabbage chili coconut carbonara2

Can include any of the following:

Cabbage (one or two heads of cabbage)
Onions
Garlic
Ginger
Chili
Turmeric
Coconut milk or cream
Coconut oil
Salt and pepper
Assorted greens

Optional

Green and red chils
Cucumber
Bacon
Chicken
Red curry paste
Fried eggs

Onion and garlic and Ginger

Have fun with your ingredients and you can make many variations for your Primed Cabbage Dish like Rebekah Brandauer Jackson Did:
