Warming Winter Stew!

This recipe is called ‘Solyanka’. In its original form, it is a Russian meat stew. However, in the 70’s, it appeared in the iconic moosewood cookbook by Molle Katzen, as a vegetable casserole. It makes excellent use of cabbage and silver-beet, rather craftily disguised. It tastes good, is a family favourite and great for using up leftovers.

I have revised it a little, adding egg yolks to enrich it somewhat and silver-beet as well, which along with cabbage, is in plentiful supply in our garden at present. You will have the entire family enjoying cabbage and silver-beet which are usually pushed to the side of the plate by younger family members… and all for under $10!
