Today the hubby and I stopped at a wild game meat store and picked up a few goodies. While waiting to pay, I was flipping through a cookbook that they had on the counter . In the cookbook was a recipe for an Indian cabbage. It looked soooo tasty and I kept pointing at it, exclaiming to the hubby that it was “Whats For Dinner!”
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a copy of the book, but found a recipe online that looked similar. I made a couple adjustments and it turned out amazing. Very like the taste of aloo gobi. Super flavourful, and next time I will be adding cauliflower.
For those interested, the cookbook had a slew of great looking recipes and I will be ordering a copy: Slow Cooking: Not so Fast Food
EDIT: So I got the cookbook and remade the cabbage dish. Hubby said that he liked the flavour of my original attempt better. So going to mix method of the cookbook with the recipe I found.
