An easy winner. This is a very versatile side dish: clean, fresh, colourful, fragrant and spicy. It would be a lovely contrast to any main dish that is rich and creamy, as the cabbage remains crunchy. It’s a great way of eating this humble veg, which is so looked down upon, despite being so high in nutrients. The colours are wonderful, with the orange and red of the carrots and tomatoes.
