Pointed Cabbage In White Wine With Fennel Seeds Recipes

POINTED CABBAGE IN WHITE WINE WITH FENNEL SEEDS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, add the fennel seeds and toast for 1 min to release the flavour. Stir in the onion and cook gently for 2 mins, then stir in the cabbage to coat in the oil and fennel.
• Pour in the white wine and vinegar, allow to reduce by about half for 5 mins, then simmer on the hob for another 5 mins until the cabbage is cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in the coriander and serve.

SAVOY CABBAGE WITH SHALLOTS & FENNEL SEEDS

Steps:

• Boil the shallots in their skins for 10-15 mins until they are soft but still hold their shape. Leave to cool then slip the skins from the shallots and halve them. Can be prepared a couple of days in advance, then chilled.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick wok, and stir-fry the garlic, fennel seeds and shallots for a couple of mins until the shallots are golden. Remove from the pan.
• Add the cabbage to the pan and stir-fry until it starts to wilt a little, then pour in the stock, cover the wok and cook for 3 mins until just tender. Test to see if the cabbage is done to your liking; if not, cook a little longer, then add the shallot mixture, heat through and serve.

CABBAGE WITH FENNEL, CHILLI & GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and sizzle the fennel seeds, garlic and chilli for 1-2 mins until the seeds start to crackle and the garlic turns golden. Add the cabbage - don't worry if it seems too much for the pan, it will soon start to wilt.
• Cook for 3-4 mins until the cabbage starts to colour at the edges, then turn up the heat and add about 50ml water to the pan. Steam-fry the cabbage for a few minutes until all the water has evaporated and the cabbage has wilted but is still holding its shape. Transfer to a serving dish.
