Creamy Savoy Cabbage with Bacon
Savoy cabbage is a cheap, healthy and versatile vegetable. It goes really well with beef or lamb. We usually have this cabbage recipe and potatoes as side-dishes to our favourite roasts. If you don't have pork belly, you can easily use bacon or pancetta instead.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1kg savoy cabbage
- 2 thin rashers pork belly, finely diced
- 40g butter
- 50ml cream
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- grated nutmeg to taste

- Wash the savoy cabbage (remove the outer leaves) and cut into rough strips or diamonds.
- Boil the bacon cubes in water briefly and drain them (this makes the bacon milder, but you can skip this step if desired).
- Briefly par-boil the savoy cabbage in salted water, then drain and submerge in cold water (this keeps the cabbage's colour). Dry the cabbage. Heat the butter in a pan and add the cream, bacon and cabbage and heat everything for a short while. Mix in the pan and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
