Vegan "Shuba"

Views:

Everybody is getting ready for New Year's Eve here. We have two traditional dishes that will be present on 90% tables in all Slavic countries. One of those is known as a "Russian Salad" and the other one is called "Shuba". In the next few paragraphs we will learn how to cook it. Non-vegan version of "Shuba" is made with hering and layered vegetables. I have substituted the hering with nori sheet for the taste. To be honest, I am not a fan of Slavic cuisine as it contains too much fat to my mind. But it is so fat for a reason. Honestly, there is no way you can have a banana berry ice cream for breakfast in winter and then go outside and not die. That is why those of you who like travelling to cold countries might find this recipe useful.

Ode to Arugula

Do you like arugula just as much as I do? Then add as much of it to your everyday meals as you can as it is incredibly useful. Arugula contains a wide range of vitamins: vitamin E, B-group vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin K. Moreover, 100 g of arugula contain a daily dose of vitamin K, which is very important for healing your wounds. Arugula also contains zinc, magnesium, selenium, sodium, copper, phosphorus, manganese and iron. And all this just for 25 kcal!
