Cabbage Week.

Back home we always used to have food-theme-weeks. Time to start again.
Hardest part is to think of a theme, funniest part is to search for the recipes and make the food.
Ideas for a theme?
The theme this week was CABBAGE :-)
We both love it, and often make cabbage pudding. Does not sound delicious, but it is. Also likes cabbage in white sauce.
Both recipes to follow.

First cabbage recipe is an Italian inspired Cabbage Soup:

It's easy, fast & healthy.

1/4 head of cabbage finely shred
1 can chopped tomatoes, not too sweet
1 vegetable stock cube
1 capsicum sliced, I prefer green but it can be any
1/2 leek sliced
2-3 carrots sliced
3 garlic cloves very finely chopped
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Put all the cabbage in a pot, add water till it is covered, then add the cube and bring to the boil.
Add the tomatoes, garlic and the spices and let it simmer.
After 15 minutes add the carrots.
After another 15 minutes add the leek and the capsicum, then keep simmer for another 15 minutes, or untill the vegetables are tender.
Add salt & pepper to taste.

Easy, and also super healthy. It is a big portion, but it is delicious the day after as well.



I will take another picture the next time I make it.
