Thyme-buttered cabbage ... a simple recipe suggestion to start the week


A simple recipe suggestion to start the week ...

Why not turn cabbage into a tasty side dish with a generous splash of cream and fresh thyme. I like Savoy cabbage but use a cabbage you enjoy.

Ingredients
Serves Two
200ml/7fl oz vegetable or chicken stock
¼ green cabbage (such as sweetheart* or Savoy), shredded
100ml/3½fl oz double (heavy) cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
25g/1oz butter, chopped

Method
1. Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan, then add the cabbage. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened, then stir in the cream and thyme.
2. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the cabbage is completely softened, then stir in the butter. Serve.

*also known as pointed/hispi/sugarloaf cabbage
From an idea seen here


~ I'm looking forward to seeing flowering daffodils soon ~

    We have so many cabbages in the garden this year, and we don't know how to cook them anymore.
    I'll gladly take note of this recipe.

    Hi Jan, I love all kinds of vegetables. I've even made cabbage a few times when my kids were little... we all love it at home; it's a quick, nutritious, and delicious meal.
    I'll try cooking it the way you explain.

    Thank you so much for everything you share in your writing.

    Be very, very happy. ✨️♥️✨️
