- Tip
Cabbage patch dins
Your leftover cabbage half will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Try roughly chopping it and blanching it in boiling water for 2 mins, then tip into a pan with a chunk of butter, some carraway seeds and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sweet in the butter for a few mins, then serve.
