ingredients
150 ml (1/4 pint) water
salt
350 g (12 oz) green cabbage, shredded
350 g (12 oz) hard white cabbage, shredded
15 g (1/2 oz) butter, cut into small pieces
grated rind of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons smetana, to serve (optional)
salt
350 g (12 oz) green cabbage, shredded
350 g (12 oz) hard white cabbage, shredded
15 g (1/2 oz) butter, cut into small pieces
grated rind of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons smetana, to serve (optional)
method
1. Put the water into a large saucepan, add a little salt and bring to the boil. Add both green and white cabbage, cover and simmer steadily for 7-10 minutes. The cabbage should be crisply tender and most of the water absorbed.
2. Take the lid off the pan and boil quickly to reduce any remaining liquid. Add the pieces of butter, lemon rind, poppy seeds and lots of black pepper. Stir briefly until the butter is melted and the cabbage evenly coated.
3. Spoon the hot cabbage into a warm dish and serve with smetana spooned over the top, if liked.
The colour contrast of the green and white cabbage gives this simple vegetable dish an attractive appearance. It can be served with meat or poultry dishes.
