Cabbage with Juniper Berries recipe
information
You can use any type of cabbage that happens to be in season for this delicious recipe, juniper berries are wrinkled and black and, when crushed, release their delightful aroma. The flavour is reminiscent of gin, since juniper is a basic ingredient of the spirit. As a faint background hint, married with garlic, it adds a very special touch to cabbage.
