Potato & Cabbage Bake.

[anueni]

Im cooking a potato and cabbage bake and would like to know if it is more nutritious to boil the potatoes in the cabbage water,or boil the cabbage in the potato water.Thanks in advance.

Sounds a little OTT. It it worries you that much just make a sauce from the water you used to boil both.

I think you will be better off to boil the spuds and steam the cabbage on top, if you boil cabbage all the goodness goes out with the water I believe.Cheaper too only using one lot of elecric/gas.

You don't boil it at all just cook in an ovenproof dish with some cream and cheese sauce see link

I have made do very similar recipe with potato onions and bacon , make sure you slice the potatoes thinly or they take too long to cook.

Do as Eddie says- the clue is in the title! And, if you are interested in "nutritious", steam - don't boil - vegetables.

sounds like bubble and squeak in my house! we fry it with no oil!

unless you drink the cooled water, neither has any nutrition but my mum swears by cabbage water!

When I was a kid I recall swearing at cabbage water. Revolting stuff.
