CfflLLI CRAB CAKES TOPPED WITH . _ FINELY SHREDDED RED CHILLIES ‘


MOST of us know the feeling - the waistband fits rather • ■ more snugly than it should and vitality is decidedly low.'? It is a classic case of; post-festive fallouti.Thankfully,? help is close at: hand in the form of the delicious and # nutritious.vegetables that fill the fresh produce ^tions":; of our'stores and supermarkets. " I The brassica family -


including broccoli, cabbage,


t(iaulif lower, and Brussels sprouts - is one of the health!- s Jest and;most>nutritious vegetablegroups. Recentv: s research has highlighted its strong anti-cancer benefits -: I and they are packed with essential vitamins and miner-« als as well as being a great source of fibre.”


f j.'Many fruits and vegetables represent the simplest # ; form of a functional food; For example, broccoli,- carrots,-® .' and tomatoes.are rich in such physiologically, active scomponents as sulforaphane, beta carotene, and - , lycopene, respectively. The purported health benefits of ® ; garlic include, properties said to be cancer chemopre- : i ventive, antibiotic, anti-hypertensive, and cholesterol-.; , lowering properties.. Chilli peppers are great for this month and are just;


; the thing to pep up the midwinter menu ivith flavours;- V ranging from mildly hot to devilishly fiery. As a general - - rule, the smaller the chilli pepper the hotter it is. As well ® '-as the familiar.red and green varieties, you can also ■ sometimes find them in yellow and orange.


;, -; ;The SLveetness of .the crab works really well with the ® i heat of the chillies. You can use red chillies in the crab , cakes if you prefer a little more heat.

Turn around in fortunes for South African wine trade


TO many first- time wine drinkers their first


• experience will be with a respected branded wine. They may shun a Chateau in favour of a


Hardy’s Cabernet Merlot, while not realis­ ing that these two grapes were used for the. Chateau. The world’s top-selling wines, by volume are, by and large, all household brand names - very clever marketing in magazines, newspapers and television has made this possible. Who has not heard of Hardy’s, Blossom


Hill, E. and J. Gallo, Jacob’s Creek and Kumala? Incidentally, these are in order from the number one best seller to number five. Take the next five top sellers, Stowells, Lindemans, Wolf Blass, Banrock Station and Rosemount and there is not a single French company represented. There is a brief exception in the Stowells range which includes several French ■wines. It is time for the French to take note if they are not to be left on the shelves. I have singled out a KUMALA for this


week’s wine. It is a remarkable turn around in fortunes for the South African wine trade for, less than 15 years ago, very little South African ivine was drunk in this country, but since the lifting of sanctions, exports have increased 20-fold. KUMALA Organic Pinotage-Shiraz, 2004 is


down to £4.99 at Booths for a while. This eclectic blend of the indigenous Pinotage

Chenin-Chardonnuy is half price while stocks last - down from £ 7.99 to £3.99,again from Booths. This is a gentle oaked mix of the two grapes, crisp, refreshing and yet creamy from the oak ageing. Perfect for a curry or some poached salmon.
