    This is a very nice dish. I added a bit of ground cumin. Had surprise guests so served it with oven baked salmon filet, they loved it.

    A good side dish that certainly makes the veggies more interesting.

    I was looking for a veg recipe with savoy cabbage - only had tin flageolet beans and left over cooked sausages (94% meat) , still delicious. I am gluten free, so used my stock cubes and can't wait to try again. Will be prepared and use smoked bacon and try the haricot beans.

    Really tasty - everyone loved it. Even better when some celery and leek added. Its become a firm family favourite. Can be spiced up too if needed as an accompaniment to Morrocan or Indian food. Any left over can be used as a base for soup the following day - add stock and either add thickener or liquidise some and leave some rustic chunks, served with crusty bread makes a warnming lunch.

    Really yummy way to cook up some cabbage. Made it alongside the slow roasted chicken so you can use the one stock cube for both recipes. Result was a really easy, tasty Sunday dinner.

    I loved this recipe. I had some spring onions, a green chile pepper half the seeds left, a few mushrooms and a stick of celery in the fridge, so i added them with the carrots and bacon. The taste was fantastic. When served it I sprinkled some asagio cheese. Try it the flavours are incredible. We ate it on its own with some crusty bread. A meal in itself.

    Although i left out the beans and substituted the smoked streaky bacon for unsmoked back bacon (due to one of my guests not liking them), it was still a lovely dish and full of flavour. A great way to make plain veg a little more interesting.

    Don't eat meat so left out the bacon. Added a little salt and white pepper and it was scrummy. Tasty enough to eat on its own!

    Really lovely, and so easy. I had no beans, no bacon and the wrong type of ccabbage and it was still great. I used spring cabbage, some left over chorizo and just left out the beans - it went down really well and people had seconds of veg - I served it with roast chicken. Will definately use again and again, previously my green cabbage cooking has been awful (boiled mush or slightly burnt sauteed) so this is a revalation!

    Fantastic recipe and so simple. I followed the recipe but didn't have all the exact ingredients so used what I had in as replacements: Parma ham & butter beans. I added spring onions as per someone else's suggestion. I served it with oven baked haddock (a recipe taken from this site) that had a garlic Mayo, breadcrumb/ lemon crust and the match was fantastic, my guests said that the dish was bursting with flavour with every mouthful. I'm not a particularly good cook so to have feedback like that has really boosted my confidence.

    Delicious. Served it with http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1939/saucy-chicken-and-vegetables- but would happily have had it on its own

    I made this dish last night for a dinner party for 12 people - everyone absolutely loved it - I tripled the recipe but as I had used a very large cabbage - there was lots left in the pan - so today I have fried some and had with pickle for lunch and will make soup with the rest. I served it with fillet of beef, Healthy dauphinoise potatoes recipe and a sylabub, cheese board, coffee & chilli chocolate.

    I've made it on a regular basis for about a year and it's always great, never boring. Generally it is the main and I make potato rösti or potato cake to go with it. Even better with some celery. Sometimes I freeze the leftover, for busy days.
