The humble cabbage often gets overlooked when people talk about delicious or exciting vegetables, but it's a staple in so many cultures with a multitude of preparations. Our standby cabbage dish is quickly sauteed ribbons with some leeks or onions, Chinkiang black vinegar, and a splash of toasted sesame oil, but other combinations of vinegars and oils work well too; meanwhile, my dad insists that a holiday meal isn't complete without cabbage rolls. Marvellous Edibles has sauerkraut nearly year round, and Alchemy Pickle Company also brings in curtido and kimchi. From napa to sweetheart to savoy to flat cabbages, there's an array of textures and flavours to suit any preference. And if you have leftovers? Colcannon and bubble and squeak make comforting fall meals. What's your favourite way to eat cabbage?
We've been getting questions about how long our market stays open and the answer is: year round! Keep an eye out on our website, Instagram, and this newsletter for more details soon.
Thanks for continuing to wear your masks while you are in the market. The narrow walkways of our market can make distancing difficult, but leaving your masks on helps all of our community be supported and safe.
