Cabbage, bacon, shallots & cream



This is our favourite cabbage dish. We could eat a bowl of it on its own quite easily but it's also perfect with a pork chop and mustard mash.

Ingredients (serves 2):


½ pointed cabbage, shredded
3 rashers of streaky bacon, diced
4 shallots, peeled and quartered
Small tub of double cream
Black pepper

  1. Sauté the bacon and shallots for 5 minutes or so
  2. Put the cabbage in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes, but don’t let the cabbage get too soft and soggy
  3. Drain the cabbage well and add to the bacon and shallots
  4. Stir in the cream to heat through and season with black pepper
