“I love this creamy red cabbage bake! Not only is the flavour of baked cream so intoxicating, but different vegetables will offer varying textures. I especially like how red cabbage never ‘completely’ softens, so it offers some texture here. Remember, as with all my veg side dish ideas – be sure to enjoy it with a cut of meat or fish so you get your essential protein in. I always garnish my dishes with herbs I have at hand. This not only makes your presentation prettier, but it adds a fresh flavour dimension. With this recipe, you can use parsley or chives but I actually had wild rocket in the fridge which I chopped up. Rocket has a slightly peppery flavour, so this was a nice touch.” – Monya
“This red cabbage slaw is a lovely, tasty salad to enjoy as a side salad at your BBQ. It is super-simple to make, and I just love the hot pink colour! Be sure to enjoy it with a lovely cut of meat which will offer some much-needed protein and fat.” – Monya
“Are you looking for ways to eat the rainbow? Even though I love MEAT, I am a huge fan of vegetables, so I love finding ways to prepare delicious side vegetable recipe ideas for any time of the year. This braised red cabbage is buttery and acidic and would go perfectly with your Sunday pork roast. I went a step further and scattered over roasted flaked almonds for additional flavour and texture. Play around and use any nuts if you wish to do so, but roasting them is essential to enhance their flavour.” – Monya
“This super simple salad boasts massive flavours all thanks to toasted sesame oil. With a little rice wine vinegar added for acidity and some sesame seeds for texture and aesthetics, you will love this crunchy slaw on the side of chicken, pork or fish. I stirred through finely chopped coriander and mint which brings another fresh dimension of flavour which I know you will love! Just in time for BBQs this weekend as a lovely salad on the side.” – Monya
