“Cabburrito”- January king cabbage leaves, spiced quinoa, wild rice & lentils-Sweetcorn & harissa dressing with pickled black radish slaw.
Love this time of year, winter vegetables, (Although that may not be the case in your part of the world🌤) yes still plenty on offer, especialy with this January King cabbage sourced from the local organic farm.
Loose leaf cabbage, pale green inner leaves-with outer leaves tinged with purple, sweeter than other varieties and a little more tender.
Great culinary cabbage that can stand up to powerful flavours, diffinitly one of our favourites.
This recipe may seem a little complex, but well worth giving it a shot, add in more spices than the recipe may suggest especially if you like it really spicy, kind of a veggie take on the buritto.
Don’t be afraid to play around with the filling.
