On 7/25 we had yet another vegan supper at Packsun, small and pleasant.
Owner Khokon is an inspiring kitchen artist. I love how quickly he assimilated the no-oil vegan cooking style. It is becoming an integral part of his repertoire. He nicely asked us how hot we wanted it on a scale from 1-10 and we chose 7.
This time we had a salad with cucumber, blackeyed peas, garlic, spices including some kardamom, salt, pepper and chili, and lemon juice. Simple, brilliant and refreshing.
Our main dish was some fresh okra, cooked with onions, garlic, chili.
Next to the okra there was a vegetable stew based on onions, garlic, chili, with potatoes, cauliflower, water squash, with cumin, turmeric, and kardamom.
All of that, combined with basmati rice managed to be simultaneously light tasting, but filling.
The conversation was lovely. One of the people who stopped in was a diabetic following the typical ADA diet, but who was getting interested in the idea of a #WFPB diet. Undoubtedly, a growing number of diabetics are able to get off meds, and at least substantially reduce insulin needs with a #WFPB diet. Food for thought. Here is some inspiration on the topic from Dr. John McDougall:
It is only to be hoped that the Bronx #not62 campaign will start to promote the whole foods plant-based lifestyle more, for it could make a huge difference in health outcomes in our borough.
