- 250 gr red cabbage
- 1/2 white onion
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 4 spoons of chopped almonds, not too fine
- vegetable broth (celery, carrot and onion)
- extra virgin olive oil (For an excellent oil press here)

Method
Prepare some vegetable broth by boiling 1 liter of water with celery, carrot and onion (one piece each).
We chop the almonds, not too finely, and keep them aside. We can buy almonds already chopped.
In a pan, add a dash of oil and fry half a chopped onion then add the finely chopped red cabbage and let it cook for five minutes on a high flame. We cover with the boiling broth, put a lid on and let it cook for 20/25 minutes. The cabbage must remain soft, if necessary add more broth.
When the cabbage is well cooked, reduce it to a cream with the help of an immersion blender, if it is too dry add a little broth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
