Cabbage with caraway seeds, scallions, and lemon
This recipe is incredibly easy and tasty.
First, make friends with someone lucky enough to have a lemon tree. Juice the gifts of excess lemons and freeze it in 2 tablespoon cubes in an ice cube tray.
Second, find a local farmers’ market farmer with fresh-looking cabbage. Instead of passing it up because you aren’t sure what to do with it, buy one.
Never again will you have to look at cabbage furtively and just move on to more normal vegetables.
