Purple or Red Cabbage are packed with Vitamins A, C, K, B6 and acts as a great antioxidants.They’re also rich in Potassium, Iron, Calcium etc and are inexpensive to buy.

The Purple Cabbage can be steamed, eaten raw especially in Coleslaws and soup. 

Using the same ingredients for my Purple Cabbage porridge recipe, I’ve reduced the water content to achieve a thicker consistency.

THE AMAZING PURPLE CABBAGE PORRIDGE RECIPE

A random conversation with a dearest friend of mine sparked this Purple cabbage porridge recipe. Tina sent a picture of her blended Cocoyam for her fresh Fufu in a pot and we talked about the colour. Cocoyam has a light lavender colour and I had some Purple cabbage in the fridge to mimic the colour.

I’ve since created another recipe using the purple cabbage which I’ll talk about in another post.
