Cavolo Agra (Cabbage with Bacon and Fennel Seeds): Classic Italian recipe for an accompaniment of cabbage and bacon steamed in water with white wine vinegar and fennel seeds served mounded on a bed of fried mushrooms and garnished with grated Parmesan.
Ingredients:
1 small, firm, cabbage, washed, drained and shredded
3 rashers of bacon, chopped
600ml water
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp
fennel seeds
Method:
Heat a pan (this must be large enough to take all the cabbage) then add the bacon and fry, stirring frequently, until it renders its fat.
Now add the cabbage, water, vinegar and fennel seeds. Season to taste then cook, uncovered, over low heat until the cabbage is tender and the majority of the liquid has evaporated away. Serve hot as an accompaniment. If desired, serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
