Eat Your Greens – 2

  • This is a lovely recipe for vegetables to eat with a roast dinner or breaded pork.
  • It is a variation on Eat Your Greens – 1.
  • In this recipe cavolo nero is used rather than white cabbage.
  • As this takes longer to cook – it is part steamed first.
  • The amounts are fairly fluid – does not matter to much.

Ingredients

    • 100g of cavolo nero

    • 1 large or 2 medium sized leek(s)

    • 120g of fresh spinach

    • 2 tablespoons of butter

    • 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Method

    • Cut the cavolo nero into fine pieces.

    • Steam this for around 10 minutes.

    • Cut the leek(s) into discs and then halve these.

    • Melt the butter in a large saucepan. (a wok style is good).

    • Stir fry the cavolo nero and leeks gently for around 5 – 8 minutes.

    • Stirring all the while – so they do not burn.

    • Add in the spinach and stir.

    • Cook for around 2 minutes.

    • Sprinkle with the salt and serve.

  • Option 
  • Kale could be used – this has not been tested.

I love cooking and baking. I love trying out new recipes and currently am trying out many old favourites from my Polish cookbooks and family recipes. I am trying out many variations, often to make them easier but still delicious. I collect glass cake stands and china tableware, mainly tea plates, jugs and serving dishes, many of which I use on a daily basis. They are an eclectic mixture from the 20th & 21st century.
