Braised Cabbage with Potatoes and Peas
Slow-cooked until soft and caramelised
A simple, flavourful veggie dish made with everyday ingredients and warm, comforting spices. The cabbage cooks down slowly until it is tender and slightly caramelised, with soft potatoes underneath and a handful of peas stirred through right at the end.

Ivana Sanshia’s note
Don't disturb the cabbage too often while it cooks! Giving it a couple of minutes to sit against the bottom of the pot creates those golden, caramelised edges that give this simple dish its rich, nutty flavour.
