Back in September of last year I wrote about two A-words that were taking up most of my head-space. Over the past few weeks, one of the A-words has had me working long days and late nights to meet my reporting deadlines; the other broke up with me. Frankly, January was a bastard of a month.
Having got over the initial anxiety-induced appetite-quashing phase, I’m now in need of comfort food. And red cabbage struck me as the thing to do it. You can simmer it down with spices and dried fruits, or you can zing it up with citrus and mango and turn it into a rather fancy coleslaw. I did all of the above (as well as adding it to Thai noodle soup – not a great idea – because trying to eat an entire red cabbage by yourself is no mean feat).
