Buttered cabbage and leeks with mustard seeds
Buttery cabbage, sweet leeks and with a slight tang from the mustard seeds, this recipe transforms a boring old cabbage into something special. I like to serve this dish of buttered cabbage and leeks with mustard seeds as a side dish with meat. It goes especially well with roasted pork.

Serve as a side dish with your favourite roast or grilled meat.
