Some people who are going to read the title of this post are going to smirk and probably think I'm being ironic. I'm known to slag my mum's cooking, sometimes rightly so, but this time I'm serious. I like this simple dish that my mum used to cook during the week, usually when we'd have more than two cabbages in the fridge. I tried to look up the recipe on the internet but didn't find anything similar to it, so I phone home instead and asked mum how to cook it. (Funny how the first instinct was to look it up on the internet instead of asking mum directly).

The ingredients are very simple:-

• 1 cabbage
• 4 streaks of bacon
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 beaten eggs (like a little boy I disobeyed and used 3, but mum was right 2 is the maximum you should use)
• salt

1. Cut the cabbage in 4 large pieces and boil it for about 30 minutes
2. Drain the cabbage properly and chop it into about 1 inch squares
3. Cut the bacon into medium sized squares and the garlic into large pieces
4. Heat some oil in a pot and add the garlic and bacon for about 2 minutes
5. Add the cabbage and stir
6. Add some salt. Note that cabbage tends to be sweet so you might want to add some more salt then usual.
7. Add the beaten eggs and stir thoroughly
8. Cook on medium heat for about 20/25 minutes stirring occasionally
9. Serve with fresh bread
