I've promised some recipe's from The People's Kitchen, so here goes....

Sautéed Cabbage and Chestnut 

If i'm brutally honest i'm not a fan of green cabbage, my heart sinks a little everytime it arrives in my kitchen. Most recipe's using cabbage smother it in cream, butter and bacon masking its woody texture and irony flavour. For the first time i've made a cabbage recipe that i can recommend.

Ingredients

1 cabbage

1 pack of cooked chestnuts

large knob of butter

1 carrot

3 chopped garlic cloves

500mls vegetable stock

slosh of sherry vinegar

a few juniper berries

Directions

*1*

Chop the cabbage up into small 1 inch strips and dice the carrot and chesnut. Heat the butter in a non stick frying pan until foaming and add the cabbage, carrot and garlic. 

*2*

Add the crushed juniper berries and continue to saute the cabbage for 5-10 mins. Now slowly add the vegetable stock. Add the chestnut and allow the cabbage to simmer in the stock until most of the liquid has been reduced. Finish off with the vinegar and some black pepper. Serve with a potato dish.
