I love Christmas food, oh my goodness I really do. Give it all to me, and seconds too, leftovers wrapped up in bread for Boxing Day sandwiches, cheese galore, chocolates, mince pies, ham, parsley sauce, turkey, ham, potatoes, bread sauce, turkey. Yes yes yes. And yet. There comes a time. Usually on the evening of the 27th, or perhaps after lunch on the 28th when I begin to yearn for some green.

Hi Margie, just wondering if you can please give an approximate weight for the cavolo nero required as the bunches I buy are from Sainsbury's are quite small. Also may help others as people's ideas of bunches are quite dependent on their hand sizes and I guess can vary quite dramatically!

Hi Lucy! Yes of course, so it's about 400g in total probably but honestly you can't go too wrong with this if you have less or more, it will tend to be okay. So it's a very relaxed recipe from that point of view. But you are quite right to flag, and I hope that's helpful! Margie xx
