My beloved doesn't give me roses but.....
......cabbage !
Yesterday, Monchéri was very happy to bring me the first cabbage from his huerta(vegetable garden). As you know, we don't have a garden at home,
but like most people here, Monchéri has a small patch of land called
cortijo or finca, to grow vegetables and fruit.
Just enough to feed big families.
Now, what shall I do with my lovely cabbage ?
Do you have any great summer cabbage recipe to share ?
Monchéri ne m'offre pas de roses mais un gros chou !
Avec un grand sourire, il était très content de m'apporter le premier chou de son potager.
Comme vous le savez, nous n'avons pas de jardin à la maison, mais comme la plupart des gens
d'ici, Monchéri a un petit carré de terre appelé cortijo ou finca, pour planter
des fruits et des légumes.
Juste ce qu'il faut pour nourrir une grande famille.
Maintenant je me demande comment je vais préparer ce chou.
Avez-vous des suggestions pour une bonne recette de chou estival ?

To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."
This is one royal cabbage!
I would love to know more about his little plot of land where he grows his vegetables. It is such an old European tradition, one my family participated in. Can we see more pictures, please.
Will send you both recipes if you like.
Such a beautiful cabbage would make a lovely cabbage galette. I will email you the link to recipe from the book, My French Kitchen.
