fpbDoes anyone know a way to make parsnips not taste nasty?
Likewise, what is the best (as in tastiest and most enjoyable) way to cook cabbage? Or should I take my mother's advice and just have it raw in salad?

Cabbages for kings
Date: 2011-01-09 02:36 pm (UTC)Raw cabbage is abominable but lightly steamed in a collander or boiled for not more than 10 minutes- usually less - it is sublime with just a little butter and salt. One of the best and cheapest vegetable dishes available. Just separate the leaves with your fingers. Toss in a piece of smoked meat if you wish.
Add to any vegetable soup a few minutes before serving. If you want to invest a little time baked cabbage stuffed with tomatoes, cheese, and ham is a delicios supper.
Or honor your adoptive homeland and look up one of the many recipes for bubble and squeak, if you like potatoes.
