Notes
- Depending on how you like your cabbage cooked, this may take a little longer to cook. We still like a little bit of bite to it, but if you want it really soft, then cook it for a bit longer.
- A splash of white wine added before the creme fraiche adds a lovely richness to this.
- Add a little bit of Dijon or wholegrain mustard for a flavour boost.
- If you like spicy food, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes before serving.
