Lunch 2022

Looks great, any bread to go with it?

No, I’ve been bagel binging and need to calm down.

Could you be more specific in the proportions and how to cook that delicious looking red cabbage? We have invited a dear fried to come on Jan. 2 for a Tourtière which she loves and I always struggle to have a side for it. Usual default is a jar of pickled beets - but your red cabbage would be a lovely change of pace. We are going to watch the Rose Parade starting at 11:00 and have a cheese fondue with vegetable dippers, fresh baguette and shrimp cocktail followed by the Tourtière when the parade ends at 3:00. (Wine will flow…)

Well, hmmm. I steamed it a bit to soften, than sautéed in a little olive oil. I grated/ julienned a Braeburn apple into it and added a nice splash of sherry vinegar , just enough to keep the color bright without making it too vinegary. I used maybe two tablespoons red currant jelly, but something like lingonberry would also be nice. It had a nice slightly acidic note to it and not overtly sweet. Salt and a little pepper to taste. I probably couldn’t duplicate it exactly but I think there’s a lot of flexibility in the resulting dish. Hope this gives you enough ideas to get you started on it. I used about half of a large head for the two of us and had very little leftover .
Your lunch sounds delicious and festive!
ETA…The cabbage was cooked but not mushy😄

Your welcome, I hope it works out for you. I can’t remember if I added any additional water to the cabbage but make sure it doesn’t stick.

Late start to the day, as it’s almost noon (local time).

So I guess this is “lanch”? (Or a “late lunch”)

I went to the Sacramento Mendocino Farms today! No foozeball though.

Chinese chicken salad, Bahn mi salad, club sandwich.
