This new recipe is a sequel if you like, to our Sillylilli braised cabbage recipe and was supplied by the Wilson family, two long-standing customers and big Sillylilli users!


We've just made this ourselves for the first time and it will be going on our Christmas dinner menu this year for sure.


Quick and easy, creamy and with a little bit of spice and only four ingredients...
