Chef Tips
Don’t worry if you don’t have exact portions of each item. This is meant to be a vehicle to use up what you have as well. Get those creative juices flowing.
Preparation
Step 1 (for the sautéed greens)
Roughly chop your greens. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, the greens and a pinch of salt. Cook stirring for about 30 seconds. Add a tablespoon or two of water. This will help the greens cook quickly.
Step 2 (for the quick marinated cabbage)
Season the cabbage with salt to taste. Add in 1-2 tablespoons of cider vinegar and mix to coat. Allow to marinate at least 10 minutes.
Step 3 (for the parsley salsa verde)
Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
Step 4 (to assemble the bowl)
Warm the leftovers in the microwave. Place some rice in the desired amount of bowls. Place about equal portions of greens, beans, chicken, sweet potatoes, and red cabbage. Finish with fried egg if using. Spoon the parsley salsa verde all over.
