directions

  • Heat the oil and when it is very hot, add the onions, stirring for 4-5 minutes until they begin to flop and go light brown in patches.
  • Reduce the heat, add the lemon zest and cook, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes until the onions have melted into a slippery, reduced slop.
  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  • Shake dry.
  • Remove the stalk from the cabbage and shred into strips.
  • Wash and shake dry.
  • Take the mint leaves and shred finely.
  • When the onions are ready, stir in the chickpeas, together with 1/2 tsp salt and a generous grinding of pepper.
  • Cook for a few minutes, then add the cabbage.
  • Increase the heat and stir for 2-3 minutes, as the cabbage wilts and merges with the rest of the dish.
  • Add 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 100ml water, the garlic paste and shredded mint.
  • Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes before turning off heat.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Leave to rest and cool slightly before topping with a dollop of yoghurt.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
