- 300 -400 g cabbage, finely sliced then very roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds (or blanched almonds, roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I prefer wholemeal)
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
- Place cabbage into a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water until it is slightly damp.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over a moderately high heat, then add drained (but damp) cabbage.
- Stir well, and cover with a lid.
- Steam cabbage over a moderately high heat for approximately 5 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, but still a little crunchy.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cream, salt, pepper, sugar, nutmeg and paprika and stir to combine.
- When the cabbage is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and reduce the heat on the stove top to medium.
- Place 1 teaspoon oil into a small frypan.
- Heat oil in the frypan for a minute or two, then add the almonds, tossing constantly until they turn a light golden brown.
- Add the toasted almonds and the cream mixture to the cabbage and stir well.
- Grease a small (3 cup capacity) casserole or pyrex dish with butter or margarine.
- Transfer the cabbage mixture to this dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
- In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and cheese.
- Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the cabbage.
- (If you wish to make this dish several hours ahead of serving time, prepare it up to this stage, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in the refrigerator until needed).
- Bake on the centre shelf of a moderate 180C (350F) oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown- cooking time may be slightly longer if the dish has been refrigerated.
