285 g rutabaga, chopped
105 g celery, chopped
70 g green onion, chopped
65 g yellow bell pepper, chopped
270 g cabbage, chopped

Of course, vegetables are your choice - this is just what I had in the fridge.
I might have used daikon or turnip (purple top) instead of rutabaga, if I had it, and the pepper, of course, doesn't have to be yellow - they were on sale.

Throw in slow cooker with

500 ml water (or choice of liquid)
10 mg summer savory (or choice of herb)
large pinch of saffron (optional, but I have an abundance of it, so I don't mind using it)

Let simmer for a while

Chop some meat
I got some "simmering steaks" and stew beef on sale - reduced for quick sale today, which was the impetus for making this in the first place

I used 1165 grams total
2 tsp (10 mg) chopped garlic - probably 2-3 cloves
15 ml olive oil (1 Tbsp) for frying

Brown meat in batches on top of the stove with garlic and oil. Season with pepper or whatever you wish.

When browned, add to vegetables and let simmer for as long as you wish.
