Take a break from the farm and relax with this healthy Stardew Valley-inspired meal: Red Plate!

I really wanted to make this recipe since it looked so adorable in-game. I even went out and got a purple-colored plate so I could make it as authentic as possible.

I won’t lie, it’s been really tough for me to set aside some time to plan out these recipes because I’m completely glued to this game. Thankfully, this recipe is incredibly simple to make so I didn’t lose too much game time. Must…go back to sitting in my house… doing nothing… 

Same.

With this dish, you’ll have the energy to power through your day.

Or the power to just stare at your TV all day… Err…

I really wish Queen of Sauce was on… I should’ve DVRed it.

If you’ve had a chance to play the Garden of Terror map in Heroes of the Storm, you will completely understand the importance of eating your vegetables. LET ME IMPROVE YOUR WEAK FLESH! 

On the Garden of Terror map, players are encouraged to collect seeds by smacking Garden Shamblers and the Garden Terror.

Once your team collected 100 seeds, you can return to your base and summon your own GARDEN TERROR! When a player controls the Garden Terror, they are free to roam the map and cause havoc. Typically, what I try to do is run straight for the towers and start smacking away.

There’s just something so darn awesome about being a giant plant and rampaging across the map. ROOAAARRRRR.

However, one should not play Heroes on an empty stomach… So I’ve devised this recipe to curb your hunger while channeling your inner Hero of the Storm!

Since the seeds are key to success on this map, it seemed natural to recreate such an important feature in food.

UNIT COMPOSITION

1. salt
2. pepper
3. 1 teaspoon of olive oil
4. 1/2 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
5. 5-6 cloves of garlic, diced
6. 1/4 lb of crimini mushrooms, diced
7. 2 roma tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
8. 1/3 lb of spinach
9. 1/3 lb of  ground turkey
10. 1 red cabbage

BUILD ORDER

Prep time is roughly 30 minutes. Total cook time is about 45 minutes. This will make 4 servings (about 2 each)

OPENING GAME

1. Set water to boil in a large pot.
2. Carefully peel the leaves from the red cabbage.
3. Place leaves in boiling water for about 6 minutes or until soft (the water will turn dark purple).
4. Remove and let cool.

MID GAME

1. Set a pan on high heat and add olive oil.
2. Add in your diced garlic. Let garlic brown. Then, add in your mushrooms and tomatoes. Saute for about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
4. In a bowl, combine your ground turkey, salt, pepper and worcesteshire sauce. Add in your sauted vegetables. Mix until combined.
5. Take a tablespoon of meat and place it in center of one of the cooked cabbage leaves. Then fold the edges of the cabbage leaf to create a pouch. Use a toothpick to hold the top together.

LATE GAME

1. Place the “seeds” on a baking dish and bake for 25 – 30 minutes at 375° F.
2. While the seeds are cooking, lightly boil your spinach. It will take about 2 minutes to cook.
3. Once the spinach has cooked, drain it and arrange it to form leaves on the plate.
4. Remove the seeds from the oven and place them on top of the spinach.
5. Eat!

And BOOM, you’re done! GG WP!
