Whole Continental Cabbage

Recipe by Graham 

This is so easy to do that even my Cousin Vinny's cousin Jim can't make a mess of it ... and he's not too bright! Continental Cabbage is particularly good with roast pork or, more economically, with grilled or fried sausages.

There are several different varieties of cabbage. The best for cooking is the 'common' white cabbage (is it called white because it's pale green???). Many shops are prepared to divide these into two and sell a half cabbage if the whole is too big. Sadly, boiled cabbage has a fearsome reputation for causing unwanted after-effects! This need not happen if you cook it using these methods.
