This would be nice on the big day or any other day.
Cabbage with bacon & chestnuts – serves 6
- 700g winter cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200g streaky bacon, finely chopped
- 200g vacuum-packed chestnuts, roughly chopped
- butter
Remove the stalks from the cabbage and roughly chop.
Bring a large pan of salty water to the boil and cook the cabbage for 3-4 minutes or until tender, then drain and leave to dry in the pan.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the bacon over a medium heat until starting to get crispy. Add the chestnuts to the bacon and stir so they absorb the bacon fat. Add the cooked cabbage, a knob of butter and seasoning. Toss together and serve.
