Bloody cabbage!

[sadminster]

This week in my veg box I've had four savoy cabbages and bag of what looks like mini savoy cabbages. I'm not happy at all.

What on earth can I do with them all?

Cabbage soup diet...LOL

I use to get a veg box but my family are very keen on lots and lots of root veg. I feel your pain.

Here are some good recipes.

borsch?

I love Indian style cabbage and peas, it's delicious. I can post a recipe if you want.

You can freeze some too.

Cabbage recipe - I'd posted it before ages ago so it was quick to copy and paste.

Cabbage with peas (Bund gobi aur matar)
Serves 4 (actually dh and I eat it between two of us)

450-500g green cabbage (I like savoy best because the crinkly leaves hold the spices well)
150g frozen peas
5 tablespoons veg oil (I use 1 or 2 tablespoons because I use a non-stick wok)
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 bay leaves (I often leave this out if I don't have them)
1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 fresh green chilli, very finely chopped (I consider this to be optional, it's just as nice without if you don't like hot)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garam masala

1. Core the cabbage and cut it into very fine, long shreds. Put the peas into a strainer and hold them under warm, running water until they separate.

1. Heat the oil in a wide saucepan (I use a wok, could also use a deep saute pan) over a medium-high flame. When it is hot, put in the cumin seeds and bay leaves. As soon as the bay leaves begin to take on colour - this takes just a few seconds - put in the cabbage and peas and stir them for 30 seconds. Add the tumeric and cayenne. Stir to mix. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender. (I usually add a tiny amount of water before covering so that the veg steams a little. No need to do that if you use the full 5 tablespoons of oil though.) Add the green chilli, salt and sugar. Stir to mix. Cover and cook on a low heat for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid and sprinkle in the garam masala. Stir gently to mix.

1. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

That sounds lovely Bran. I'll pop around for a cabbage sadminster
