BRAISED WHITE CABBAGE

Steps:

• 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.

RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Click away any tatty outer leaves from your cabbage, trim off the base, cut the cabbage into wedges, then finely slice it and put aside.
• Finely slice the bacon and place in a large casserole pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Leave it to crisp up while you peel, core and dice the apples.
• When the bacon is crispy, strip the rosemary leaves into the pan, stir for 1 minute, then use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and rosemary to a plate, leaving the smoky bacon fat behind.
• Add the fennel seeds and diced apples to the pan, then tear in the prunes, removing any stones. Stir and fry for 2 minutes, then finely grate in the clementine zest and squeeze in the juice.
• Add the vinegar, cabbage and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
• Cook with a lid ajar on a low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and a pleasure to eat, stirring well every 5 minutes to help intensify and mix up the flavours.
• Serve sprinkled with the crispy bacon and rosemary leaves.

BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir cabbage and onion until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in water; add vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, with the widest part no more than 2 inches, leaving the core intact so the wedges stay together while cooking. Place a heavy skillet, large enough to hold wedges fairly snugly, over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the cabbage, and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat until it shimmers. Add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeño, tomato and broth. Season with salt to taste. If desired, add more jalapeño to taste.
• Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Add cabbage, fitting it tightly together in the bottom of the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes, turning it once halfway through cooking. Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves and bay leaf. If desired, serve with rice.
