One-pot Cabbage 'Casserole'

[Guest guest]

Long ago when I was a pennyless university student, the very cheapest

edibles you could buy in a grocery store were cans of tomatoes,

blocks of cheddar cheese and enormous cabbages. This recipe became

one of our all-time family favourites. It is not really a

'casserole' because it is all done in a sauce pan, quick and easy.

 

One Pot Cabbage Casserole

 

First, toast a slice of coarse wholemeal bread, let it cool and dry.

In a sauce pan, toast 2 Tablespoons of sunflower seeds until lightly

browned. Pour them into a container and set them aside.

 

Into the sauce pan, put one 420 gram can of tomatoes. Cut them up a

little bit with scissors. While this is heating, chop some cabbage

coarsely (don't grate it!). You need 1 1/2 Cups of chopped cabbage.

 

Simmer the cabbage and tomatoes for about 15 minutes.

Break up the piece of toast and whiz in a blender to make crumbs.

 

Turn the heat off the sauce pan. Sprinkle some grated cheese over

the top, then sprinkle on the toast crumbs, then sprinkle on the

sunflower seeds.

 

Serve! Good with rice or potatoes.

 

I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do.
