No, that's not an oxymoron. I promise.
Sometimes you just need a little comfort food. You know that feeling: all you want is carbs, carbs, carbs. Tell me I'm not alone in this one (and don't you dare tell me if I am). Last Thursday, as I unpacked our veggies from our CSA share and processed those that I wanted to store for fall and winter, I thought about the ones I couldn't save. Leaves, for example, don't store quite as well as firmer fruits and vegetables like squash and zucchini. Here's how I basically tackled several foods that were going out of style like, well, like it's going out of style, but still satisfied my need for comfort.
A few pounds of potatoes, cut into similar sized pieces (to ensure even cooking), boiled in salty water.
1 red pepper and 1 red onion, diced, sauteed in olive oil and...
a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
1 small head of cabbage, more or less shredded, added to the saute pan...
with about 1/3 cup of salsa.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, add them to the pan and let that saute until the cabbage has softened.
Be advised: If you do not saute that cabbage enough, it will be bitter. Like your ex-'s new lovah is way hotter than you are bitter. Cook it well!
Top with sour cream and guacamole and enjoy.
