Method

  • step 1

    Boil the shallots in their skins for 10-15 mins until they are soft but still hold their shape. Leave to cool then slip the skins from the shallots and halve them. Can be prepared a couple of days in advance, then chilled.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in a large non-stick wok, and stir-fry the garlic, fennel seeds and shallots for a couple of mins until the shallots are golden. Remove from the pan.

  • step 3

    Add the cabbage to the pan and stir-fry until it starts to wilt a little, then pour in the stock, cover the wok and cook for 3 mins until just tender. Test to see if the cabbage is done to your liking; if not, cook a little longer, then add the shallot mixture, heat through and serve.

So easy and tasty. The method of boiling the shallots is much simpler than having to peel and chop! Lovely flavours and texture.

Hi, many thanks for your question. While technically you can cook the day before and reheat you will get a better result if you cook the shallots the day before and finish the next step the following day. Many thanks, BBC Good Food team.

Great way to use up a cabbage, tasted great! Didn't have shallots so substituted regular white onions - worked out great!

A great side dish, the whole family loved it. I didn't have any shallots so substituted a sliced red onion, gently fried with the garlic and fennel seeds until soft.
