A tasty way of white cooking cabbage with a cheesy flavored nutty sauce.
Ingredients
1 small white cabbage, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 oz butter
1 oz plain flour
½ pint milk
4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz chopped mixed nuts
Salt and pepper
Method
Set oven to 425F or mark 7.
Butter a shallow 2-pint ovenproof dish.
Put the cabbage into a pan of boiling salted water and cook until only just tender.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the milk.
Return to the heat and stirring, bring to the boil until the sauce thickens; simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the cheese and season well.
Arrange layers of the cabbage, sauce and chopped nuts in the dish, finishing with a layer of sauce with a sprinkling of nuts.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Serve as a dish on its own or as an accompaniment to meat.
