Gourmet Cabbage Butter - Transform Your Greens!

• 1 green cabbage (any dark green variety)
• water
• ice
• 250 g salted butter (softened but not melted)
• 6 anchovies (in oil)
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 12 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

1. To make the butter, put everything EXCEPT the butter into the bowl of a food processor, whizz until finely chopped and then add to the butter.
2. Mash everything together until all is incorporated, roll into a sausage shape and store in greaseproof paper in the fridge or freezer as needed.
3. To make the cabbage half it and cut out the core.
4. Separate the leaves starting at the outside and cut any large ones into halves and quarters.
5. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add a little salt along with the cabbage, bring back to the boil, lower the heat just a little and simmer for 5 minutes ONLY.
6. Have a large bowl of ice water ready and immediately plunge the cabbage into it to stop the cooking process - this is really important.
7. Once cold, drain the cabbage well and reserve until needed.
8. Melt a large hunk of the flavoured butter in a pan over a medium heat and allow to sizzle for just less than 1 minute without browning.
9. Add the prepared cabbage (you may have to do this in 2 batches) and heat gently until hot, completely coated with the butter and any excess water has evaporated off.
10. Season with a little salt and plenty of pepper.
11. Fight over the last pieces and dream about having your next cabbage fest!
