Its been a busy week at nobó with a reconnaissance mission to London and the start of our Foodworks programme occupying most of our time. So, here’s a quick and easy recipe that we put together late one of the nights. Its really tasty and combines the sweetness of orange juice and raisens, with bitter greens and toasted almonds for a nice crunch.
It can easily be adapted to a main dish with the addition of some soba noodles. Feel free to double up and enjoy the leftovers the next day, we did! I used york cabbage and pak soi to make this but kale and spinach would also work well.
Toasting almonds? A really quick an easy way to toast your almonds is to heat a small heavy bottom pan and throw a handful of flaked almonds in, tossing until browned and toasty. You can also toast them in the oven but I find this method easiest as I can do it quickly and in small batches.
sweet and bitter greens
3 cloves garlic – finely slices
This looks absolutely delicious, you have made the humble cabbage look like manna from heaven 🙂
Thanks Deborah! They have such great colour.
I’ve been eating endless variations on these gorgeous greens for the last few weeks — mm, mmm, mmm — because they’re poignant reminders of my years in Asia. Thanks for jolting the memories!
Hi Valerie – Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying some greens of late, and that they’re bringing back some memories(happy no doubt!!). They’re really tasty!
