Super savoy cabbage
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
I really didn’t like any sort of cabbage up until recently when we visited a friends house and were served a delicious roast with a healthy serving of savoy cabbage. I am now converted, and made a point of grabbing some seeds at the start of the season and planting them!
There were two plants in the bed until i picked this one (beautifully modelled by the Mrs!), sitting quite happily under the brussel sprouts and broccoli plants. I thought they’d probably died until i went on a caterpillar hunt and saw this one ready to pick. The other has been pretty much nibbled to death by beasties, but the head may survive if i leave it to grow a little longer.
We steamed it over our beans, and it was very, very tasty…there’s something about the crinkliness of it…or am i just rambling!? One plant was enough for 6 serving, which is plenty of cabbage for one week.
