BUTTERED SAVOY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place cabbage in a large skillet with 1 cup water (skillet will be very full). Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover skillet; simmer until cabbage is very tender, tossing occasionally, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Pour out any water remaining in skillet. Add butter; season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.

ROAST SAVOY CABBAGE WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk the olive oil, the zest and juice of the lemon and some seasoning together. Tip the cabbag onto an oiled baking tray. Spoon over the dressing and roast for 45 mins, turning halfway though until the cabbage is golden and lightly charred and the stems are tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer to a platter, then serve.

STIR-FRIED SAVOY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Steam or boil the cabbage for 3-4 mins until just tender, then drain well. If doing ahead of time, cool under running water and chill until ready to stir-fry.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic and seeds and cook for 1 min until beginning to turn golden. Toss in the cabbage and stir-fry over the highest heat for 3-4 mins. Season with a little sea salt and serve.
