Notes
To Cook In An Aga.
Prepare the cabbage as above. Use the boiling plate to bring the cabbage to a simmer then transfer to the simmering oven to cook.
Once the cabbage has started to soften, return to the boiling plate to reduce & finish. Slice the cabbage as thin as possible. This can either be done by hand or with a food processor’s slicing attachment. Make sure not to overcook the cabbage - it should be just tender.
