Within 10 metres (so small is our garden) we have strawberries, gooseberries, herbs, apples, pears, but nothing so exotic as a cabbage. I like those Romanesque cauliflowers, all pointy and green that you see occasionally in farmers' markets.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-17749619680842905842009-06-18T17:49:43.926+00:002009-06-18T17:49:43.926+00:00Wok fried/steamed with a sprinkle of 5-spice powde...Wok fried/steamed with a sprinkle of 5-spice powder.Totty Teabaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303238370591634781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-39147315430129491682009-06-17T19:45:16.113+00:002009-06-17T19:45:16.113+00:00I like cabbage fried with onion and shredded carro...I like cabbage fried with onion and shredded carrot.Cait O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569760764766505179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-47181159938665123272009-06-17T17:53:47.865+00:002009-06-17T17:53:47.865+00:00We've just had two types of homegrown lettuce,...We've just had two types of homegrown lettuce, but I'm so green with envy at your cavalo nero! Mine drowned in all the wet this winter, sadly. I love the stuff!

But as it's good for us.... if I have to (and Savoy cabbage is so much better!), lightly steam, chop, stir into fluffy mashed potatoes with lots of pepper and nutmeg, serve with anything pork-related. Or use for colour rather than flavour (Mopsa's suggestions sound good) and feel virtuous about eating it. <br /><br />But new potatoes..... now you're talking.....rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-81085529231707783912009-06-17T06:13:08.447+00:002009-06-17T06:13:08.447+00:00I love Cavolo Nero but ours is far off from being ...I love Cavolo Nero but ours is far off from being ready to eat - I plant it out late so it goes well into the winter. I chiffonade (how posh is that?) and stir fry, with onion, chilli oil perhaps, a shake of pine nuts. Or if a heartier meal is required, with a cheesy and mustardy bechamel. It's a great addition to a spaghetti based meal - whether using a buttery, olive oil, creamy or cheesy dressing/sauce; bacon is a great addition, and if you remove the rib, you can use it any way that you might use spinach. Yummeee!Mopsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912659592484055741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-11368298639459127072009-06-16T22:27:31.573+00:002009-06-16T22:27:31.573+00:00Green (ho, ho) with envy at your garden produce.

I'm actually a big fan of cabbage - black or not. Try it steamed with a little soy sauce and a sprinkling of grated ginger or bubble and squeak - now you're talking...<br /><br />By the way, I believe it IS good for you.Brown Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02760318815660274315noreply@blogger.com
