Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 150C/Gas 2/fan 130C. Cook the cabbage in boiling salted water for 4 minutes or so, then drain and run under the cold tap. Drain again thoroughly. Butter a deepish oven-proof dish (about 3 litre) generously with half the butter. Cover the base with a third of the cabbage. Season well.
  2. Arrange half the sausagemeat over the cabbage, flattening it out a bit with your fingers so that it covers it reasonably well, pressing down as you go. Repeat these layers, and then finish with a final layer of cabbage. Season again with salt and pepper, then dot with the remaining butter. Cover tightly and bake for 21⁄2 hours, until the cabbage is as tender as butter.

    Yum, this is one of the tastiest dishes I have had in awhile. It sounds like theres not much to it but I gave it a go due to the other good feedback, i'm so glad I did. This is now a firm favourite with my husband and toddler too.

    Skeptical given so few ingredients but was encouraged to try this because of the comments. Was worth it, the long slow cooking does something magical and the house does not stink of cabbage either - always a bonus. Will be a regular and a good way of eating your veg portions!

    I was intrigued by this recipe and especially the comments, it was quite pleasant but my family and I found nothing to rave over.

    I cooked this for my boyfriend the other night... It was very nice and he had seconds.. so it must have been good. I will cook this again.. it was so easy to make and after you put it in the oven you don't have to do a single thing... :-)
