Ingredients

565ml organic chicken or vegetable stock

6 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon

a few sprigs of fresh thyme

1 white cabbage

1 small knob of unsalted butter

extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Pour the stock into a large pan, then add bacon and pick in the thyme leaves. Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
  2. Meanwhile, discard the tatty outer leaves from the cabbage, then halve and very finely slice the rest, discarding the tough core.
  3. Once boiling, add the cabbage to the stock, mix well, pop the lid on and boil furiously for 5 minutes.
  4. Turn the heat down to a simmer and continue to cook until the cabbage is a pleasure to eat, topping up with a little extra stock or water, if needed.
  5. Add the butter and a good lug of extra virgin olive oil, season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then serve immediately.
