This recipe is at least 200 years old. My grand-grandmother was preparing savoy cabbage that way, my, grandmother was preparing that way, my mother was preparing that way, so I am preparing it that way. This is very healthy meal, although it is prepared on lard.

How to make it
- Wash the savoy cabbage and cut it in 1 inch pieces.

- During this operation prepare this: put lard in a pot, heat it and brown flour in lard (but not too brown). Add grounded paprika and just few drops of cold water to make “zafrig” (a kind of “sauce veloutè”).
