Lg or 2 small Savoy cabbages 8 x Strips bacon
Salt and pepper 4 x Whole allspice berries
300 ml Bacon or chicken stock
Cut the cabbage in half and boil for 15 minutes in salted water. Drain, and soak in cold water for 1 minute, then drain well and slice. Line the bottom of a casserole with half the bacon strips, then put the cabbage on top and add the seasonings. Add enough stock to barely cover, then put the remaining strips of bacon on top. Cover and simmer for an hour, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
