This post could also be called Two Cooks and a Cabbage, or more correctly Two Cabbages and a Cook !
These two little beauties arrived in my vegetable box last week. I planned to try out two new cabbage recipes, one with each. The first was for Sesame and Ginger Cabbage. You can find the recipe here (along with about a million other cabbage recipes....I hadn't realised that there where so many!) It was delicious with pan-fried fish with black olives.
But the first recipe was so tasty that I made it again. This time served with bubble and squeak fish cakes, black olives, and beetroot pesto..... I hardly changed the recipe at all....just added a little Tamari sauce...oh and I got mixed up and used onion instead of garlic...a small red one, that I chopped finely and sautéed in olive oil until it was all sweet and caramelly...and I think made the dish even better...but I would, wouldn't I...
Judging by the Caterpillar holes, Jane and Sally's cabbage was organic too....
...I hope that Alan and David helped wash the dishes...
That Ginger and Sesame Cabbage sounds fabulous. I love cabbage more and more the older I get. It's actually one of those vegetables (like asparagus) that we really never had as kids so I've been able to come to them on my own terms. Thanks for the link to the other cabbage recipes too - so many!
ReplyDeleteIt it is Caz. As children we used to have cabbage at least once a week when it was in season, usually with Sunday's roast dinner. Mum would give us the cabbage water to drink (those of us who would drink it) because she said that "it was full of all the goodness"...She used Jane's method of cooking the cabbage, although not using quite as much water! and I loved it at the time...but I'm really thankful as I grew up that I discover new ways to cook it.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever having asparagus as a child either and I'm still a bit nervous about cooking it properly...
