CRUNCH!!

[fpb]

So I had some cabbage left over from making stuffed cabbage a while back; a lot of onions; and some leeks that really needed to be used before they wilted. So I decided to try and use all the natural flavours of the stuff. I melted some chopped bacon fat (good for extra flavour) over a very slow fire; added the chopped onions, sliced leeks, and cabbage; cooked it very slowly; then added some chickpeas and vegetable stock and kept it cooking till the moisture had shrunk. I looked forward to a really pleasant main course.

So I placed the first spoonful in my mouth.

CRUNNCCCCHH!!

I had forgotten to wash the earth out of the leeks.
