Notes

  • If you want this to be a vegetarian dish, then make sure you use a vegetarian Parmesan alternative. Most supermarket own Italian hard cheese is vegetarian.
  • 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 at the same time as the olive oil adds a lovely richness to this.
  • If you like spicy food, then add a sprinkle of red chilli flakes before serving.
