New Week, new Veggie: We have Purple Cabbage!
Some love it, other just hate it… I have to say I was also not a big fan but as I am fair with my veggies, I gave different chances and different recipes until I found my favorite way to enjoy this antioxidant explosion!!
The sun is shining again in Luxembourg, so we deserve a fresh but still comforting food!
This a great recipe for meal prep since everything can be made in advance and just finished in the last minute! You can also make this rolls with any other veggies in the fridge but please try it with some red cabbage and I can guarantee happiness at first bite!
