Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 565 ml organic chicken or vegetable stock
  • 6 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon
  • a few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 white cabbage
  • 1 small knob of unsalted butter
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instruction

  • Pour the stock into a large pan, then add bacon and pick in the thyme leaves. Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
  • Meanwhile, discard the tatty outer leaves from the cabbage, then halve and very finely slice the rest, discarding the tough core.
  • Once boiling, add the cabbage to the stock, mix well, pop the lid on and boil furiously for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to a simmer and continue to cook until the cabbage is a pleasure to eat, topping up with a little extra stock or water, if needed.
  • Add the butter and a good lug of extra virgin olive oil, season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then serve immediately.
