Peel and chop the onion and fry it in the oil. Add the carrots and cabbage, chopped small. Fry the vegetables until soft.

Serves 2

On meal plan 8, serve this twice in the week. If not following the plan, vary the vegetables to whatever you have or want to use. Use green cabbage, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, peas, grated swede or parsnip, fennel bulb, celeriac, runner beans from the garden, red or white radish, or any other veg in any combination you fancy.

If you aren’t following the plan, you can substitute just over a third of a tin of coconut milk for the creamed coconut. 50g of creamed coconut is the equivalent of half a tin of milk.
