Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove chopped small
- 1 full savoy cabbage washed and patted dry
- 200 ml vegetable stock (1 cup) or beef/chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon salt to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- olive oil from drizzling (optional)
- Parmesan Cheese for grating
Instructions
- Prepare 1 full savoy cabbage by slicing down the middle, cutting away the tough central core, the slicing the leaves into thin 1 inch strips.
- In a large saucepan with a lid, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil with 1 large garlic clove on low heat till the garlic softens.
- Add sliced cabbage, turn the heat to medium and sauté for a couple of minutes in the garlic oil.
- Stir in a third of the 200 ml vegetable stock and ½ teaspoon salt, then turn the heat back down to low, cover and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, lifting the lid occasionally to stir, and adding more stock gradually.
- Remove from the heat, and serve warm with a ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil over the top and a grating of parmesan cheese (optional).
Notes
- Select a savoy cabbage with bright unblemished leaves.
- Wash and pat dry the cabbage, then slice it through the middle and cut away the central hard core. Slice the leaves into thin strips, around 1 inch wide.
- Prepare at least a couple of hours in advance for best results.
- This recipe is vegetarian, but if you wish to use meat, add it after softening the garlic then sauté till brown before adding the cabbage.
- Drizzle some good quality olive oil over the top and a grating of cheese (optional).
- Store in a closed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
