Doing cooking and photography at the same time isn't easy, so respect to @darylo who has been doing this throughout February. I had intended to take a photo of the dish on Saturday before we ate it, but with guests arriving, corks popping etc. I decided to wait. I asked the guests to leave some of the stew in the pot so I could do a photo after they had left. Unfortunately they left only vegetables, so this doesn't much look like it was supposed to !
I didn't serve red cabbage with the original dish, of course. This is my habit with leftovers though, something which comes from my school dinners in the Sixties, when stew and pickled red cabbage was a standard offering. You can't find this in supermarkets here, so I used to get visitors from pickle-friendly North European countries to bring some. No visitors now, of course, so this red cabbage was pickled at home. It was so easy, I wonder why I've never thought to do it before.
I missed this! Oh my! Yes to everything you said, and I ask myself every time I pickle things why I waited so long in life to make my own! The feast was such a good choice for company. Bravo!
