That Wasn't Exactly "From Lunchtime" But...

[faustus]

... I have my first veg box.

Red potatoes
2 baking potatoes
white onion
1/2 savoy cabbage
sweetcorn
bunch rosemary
1/2 red cabbage
butternut squash
1/2 bunch carrots
1/2 swede tomatoes were substituted
1/2 bunch spring onions

(and a rouge rogue tomato.)

There's clearly soup or a stew here - but I think something based on the squash is the first priority. A veg curry.

Any thoughts on some kind of two cabbage recipe? I've done a four onion pasta sauce before, so maybe onion and cabbage sauce. I don't have eggs in to do a quiche.

H'mmm.

I can second the red cabbage recipe. Some people add raisins, but I prefer not to. Cooked slowly in the oven, with most of the liquid provided by the grated apple, until it's sweet and sticky and just beginning to caramelise at the edge of the top layer. Mmmmm. I think I'll be looking for a red cabbage at the weekend, then...

My favourite recipe with savoy cabbage (apart from many variations on 'cook quickly + something else', e.g. stir-fried with garlic + sesame seeds; blanched + butter and black pepper) is more or less as follows:
Chop/slice onion, soften in olive oil. Add chunks of chorizo (if vegetarian, add garlic + paprika and increase pulses), sizzle a bit. Add 1/2 tin chickpeas/canellini beans. Add tin chopped tomatoes and 1/2 tin stock. When good and hot, add a good handful of shredded savoy cabbage, allow to bubble for a couple of minutes, and serve to two hungry people (or 1 person and a fridge).
