Franci's recipe for vegan kapustnica (let your soul guide you for precise measurements and timings)
Ingredients:
Olive oil or vegan butter
Onion (1)
Smoked tofu/tempeh or both
Paprika, salt, pepper, cumin
Sauerkraut (500-600 gr)
Potatoes (to taste)
Mushroom broth (to taste, depending on if you want it more or less liquidy)
Tomato paste
Green onion 
Vegan sour cream
Put the oil in the pan and, once warm, brown the tofu/tempeh until goldenish. Add onion and potatoes, let them cook for a little bit. Add the spices and let them warm up. Add the cabbage, stir. Add the broth and let cook for around one hour (take a look every once in a while). Before turning off the heat, melt in a bit of tomato paste. Serve warm with a topping of sour cream and green onions.

Alas, we reached the 20th episode of The Emotional Pendulum, the podcast about ever-changing emotions. In this episode, our protagonists were saddened by the inability to come up with ideas for videos and by the guilt of feeling unsafe.
