Creamy garlic cabbage

This recipe relies on that trusty kitchen rule that pretty much anything tastes amazing if you cook it with garlic and cream. Serves 2-4.

Method 

In a large pan, heat the butter and oil over a medium heat until starting to bubble. Stir in the onion and cook for 5-10 minutes, until softened.

Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for a couple of minutes.

Add the cabbage, and stir to coat it with the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, until the cabbage is soft and caramelised.

Turn down the heat and stir in the cream. Cover and cook very gently for about 10 minutes.

Uncover and cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally to let the sauce thicken a bit. Season to taste and serve.
