Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan over a low heat. Add the shallots and cook until they begin to soften, for about 5-10 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with the caraway seeds and thyme. Set aside.
  3. Add the cabbage and stock to the pan with the shallots. Cover and simmer for 12-15 mins, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is tender.
  4. Drain off any excess liquid from the cabbage and, while hot, stir through the flavoured butter. Season to taste and serve, garnished with extra thyme leaves.
