Vegetables Stew

We remove the artichokes’ outside leaves and put them in a bowl full of water and a little lemon juice so that they won’t get black. We sauté the onion and the garlic in the oil. We add the green beans and turn them upside down for a couple of times. We add half cup of water and the tomato paste ( diluted in a little water) the artichokes, the parsley, the dill , salt and pepper. We cook it in a high temperature, until the food is only with its oil.

We boil water in a big pot and add the cabbage pieces to boil for ten minutes. We strain them. In another pot, we sauté the leek, the onion and the pepper in the oil. We add the tomato juice, the tomatoes, the celery, the wine, the paprika and the two cups of water. We add salt and pepper and let the food simmer until there is no juice.

Short but powerful prayers to the Mother of God Virgin Mary, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Angels, which have real value only if they are said with repentance, humility and deep faith. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" - "All the heavenly powers of the holy Angels and Archangels, intercede for us"
