I had a hot BBQ chook (ok, chicken for all you non-Aussies!) so did it all and then added the pulled poultry just prior to serving.. It was absolutely totally delicious and have shared the recipe with vegan grand-daughter. Thanks heaps for a new idea with our favourite flesh.
Hi Janet! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback – we are happy you enjoyed the recipe!:)
Simple, but delicious. The cabbage is almost like noodles – love it!
This recipe sounds incredible, but when you mention, “6 servings”, what size is the serving?
Thanks !
