Abstract

Olia Hercules' friend Sean loves this Ukrainian cabbage dish so much, he's actually dreamed about it.

For a long time I had a real, deep-rooted complex about Ukraine’s cabbage and potato dishes, all too often the only things people in the West associated with Eastern European cooking. But now I embrace them all – none more so than a delicious braised cabbage. This is my mother’s recipe, and it is a pretty common one.

When my Cornish friend Sean cooked it, the next day he texted me these beautiful words: ‘I cannot convey how much I loved the cabbage last night, so amazing. It goes so far to disprove the stereotype. I had dreams about it.’ Needless to say, that made my heart sing!

Serve this as an accompaniment to poultry or sausages, or on its own with some good bread.
