Black pepper

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5/190°C/fan oven 170°C.

Trim the stalks of the cabbage to remove some of the hard core. Arrange in a shallow baking dish that has a lid, or use a roasting tin and a sheet of foil. Add the spring onions and stock. Season with nutmeg (if using) and black pepper. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
3
Five minutes before the cabbage is ready, spray a non-stick frying pan with calorie-controlled cooking spray. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Serve 2 quarters of cabbage per person, sprinkled with the crispy bacon.

Cook’s tip: Simply leave out the bacon if you are cooking for vegetarians.
