If you are wondering what to cook as a side dish with your pie has be daunting, so I am sharing an easy braised cabbage recipe which will go well with most pies. I have served this with a mince pie I made for dinner.
I have used half of a large cabbage and there was plenty for the four of us. I have used savoy cabbage this time, but you can cook any cabbage in this way.
It’s a great way of cooking greens as they are not over cooked and full of water. You can adapt this recipe to your taste by adding some herbs etc.
It is a versatile recipe and is great to serve with pie, meat or anything you fancy.
Ingredients
Cabbage
A small amount of bacon lardons
1 onion
A little butter
Method
Cut the cabbage in quarters and then in strips.
Put the bacon and the onion into a cast iron pan (or any pan you have) and cook on a low heart
When the onion is soft and the bacon has a little colour, add a small amount of water and the cabbage, cover and leave to cook for about 5 minutes, check after that time and stir well.
Repeat the process until the cabbage is cook to your taste.
