Take one white cabbage

It's been a busy morning today.  I went for a walk and then my usual games of rumikub with my friend. After she left I decided it was a sauerkraut making kinda day. I used three quarters of a white cabbage to make the sauerkraut 

Nothing more than cabbage and salt

   I finely sliced a small onion and coarsely grated a large carrot and the remaining quarter of cabbage and made coleslaw. 

I didn't discard the cabbage core either. I grated it and added it to a pan of mixed veg and spicy chorizo soup. I love making soup with all the bits and pieces of veggies that aren't quite big enough for a portion but perfect to add to soup.  This one has the cabbage core, a medium courgette, carrots, celery, garlic, an onion, runner beans and chorizo.  It tastes lovely already and as I want it for lunch tomorrow it will have developed beautifully by then. That's lunch sorted and it'll be lovely with a chunk of sour dough bread

Don't waste the cabbage core

                                         

Yum.
