24.01.2022 Cooking With Realfoods: Episode 17 - Hearty Winter Soup Ingredients: 1 x onion, chopped 3-4 x cloves garlic, chopped... 2-3 x cans beans of your choice 2-3 x carrots, chopped 1/2 x cabbage, sliced (see notes) 2 x Tablespoons olive oil Salt, to taste Paprika, to taste -- Notes: You can use any combination of tinned beans and vegetables for this soup. Borlotti beans and chick peas work well together, as do dried red or green lentils. Carrots add a gentle sweetness, but you can use whatever veggies you like - buy what is cheapest and in season. To make this dish even heartier, add a handful or two of uncooked rice or cubed potatoes when you add the beans. The longer you cook this dish, the more flavour it will have. -- Method: Coarsely chop the onion and garlic, and add to a large saucepan, along with the beans, and enough water to cover. Add the rice, if using. Simmer for 10-15 miuntes. Meanwhile, chop your carrots and cabbage (or other vegetables of choice). Add the oil, salt & paprika to your soup, stir to combine, and then add in the chopped vegetables. Simmer for at least 10-15 minutes more, or longer if desired. Serve piping hot. The soup will keep for around 3 days in the fridge. - - Music Credit: The Circus by Agnese Valmaggia Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6291-the-circus License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

04.01.2022 Cooking With Realfoods Ep.15 All About Realfoods Bundoora This episode of Cooking With Realfoods is a little different. Here, Tom from Realfoods in Bundoora tells us all about the cafe, how we grow some of our own food, and lead with a sustainable, plant-based approach. Realfoods offers great coffee and delicious food, but did you know it's also staffed by our amazing RUSU Volunteers? Volunteering at Realfoods gives students a chance to gain real world experience and valuable... training in the food service industry, which helps them to gain employment outside of the volunteer setting. We can't wait until we are back on campus again, and when we do re-open, we'd love for you to pop by and say hello! - - - Music Credit: Logo Ukulele by AlekSound Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6127-logo-ukulele License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
