SALMON WITH SAUTEED BEETS AND PEAS
The sautéed veggies can be eaten on their own or atop fish, chicken, or beef. In this recipe, the bulb of the beet, a root or earth vegetable, is cooked along with its greens, providing a nutritious way to use the whole food. Since root veggies grow directly in the earth, which is the element associated with Stomach and Spleen, the essence of beets and onions naturally support your Stomach function. Peas help to move what is “stuck” in the body.
