Ready in: 25 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 1 Savoy, green or spring cabbage
• 2 cloves garlic
• 6 slices smoked bacon
• 1 lug olive oil
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 chicken or vegetable bouillon cube
• 1/8 tsp, or to taste salt
• 1/8 tsp, or to taste ground pepper
• 1 lug extra virgin olive oil

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins

1. Strip all the leaves off the cabbage and wash them. Roll the leaves up together, like a cigar, and slice finely.
2. Peel and finely chop 2 cloves of garlic. Slice up 6 slices of smoked bacon, preferably free-range or organic.
3. Place the bacon in a large saucepan on medium heat with a lug of olive oil and stir around for a few minutes until perfectly crisp and golden. Stir in the garlic and as it begins to color add the Worcestershire sauce, butter, and all your finely sliced cabbage. Stir well, give the pan a shake, and turn the heat to high.
4. Drop the bouillon cube into 1 3/4 cups boiling water, pour this broth into a pan, and give it all a good stir. Place a lid on top and cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
5. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if you think it needs it. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil just before serving.Tip
