Spring greens
Jump to navigation

This dark green vegetable is an early variety of cabbage with tender, loose packed leaves; it is harvested before it forms a heart. Boil or steam spring greens briefly to retain their sweet fresh flavour and serve as an accompaniment topped with a knob of butter. Spring greens were originally available only in spring but are now available most of the year. Look for fresh-looking heads and avoid any with wilting or flabby leaves. Store in the fridge.
