Today I bought a nice cabbage - 50p. We had a carton of chickpeas in the cupboard, and some bits and bobs. From that we constructed an absolutely delicious meal based on a Tuscan recipe: onions and garlic softened in a pan in some oil, a teaspoon of turmeric powder added, a few anchovies melted into the mix and then gently mashed into a paste. Added two kinds of tomato paste - some 'ordinary' and some from a jar of sun-dried tomatoes.
Meanwhile, half the cabbage - finely shredded and steamed with a sprinkle of caraway seeds.
The carton of chickpeas added to the onions, and some salt and pepper.
Finally the cabbage - when cooked - stirred in, and served from the pan, with parmesan to grate over each plate.
It was really gorgeous, colourful, fragrant, delicious and healthy..... I estimate it cost well under £1 a plate.
