Cabbages come in a variety of colours and shapes. With so many vitamins, high in iron and potassium and low in calories they make the ideal ingredient as part of a healthy meal. A member of the brassica family, the white cabbage matches perfectly with the smoky bacon, creamy cheese and fragrant chives in this recipe and makes the humble cabbage the star of the dinner table.
