List of Ingredients




1 large green cabbage, about 1 pound, finely sliced

Salt

1-1/2 tablespoon butter or margarine

1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1-1/4 cups warm milk

Grated rind and juice of 1 large lemon

Pinch of ground nutmeg

Pepper

Lemon slices and 2 teaspoons snipped chives, to garnish


Recipe



1. Make the sauce; melt the butter in a saucepan, sprinkle in the flour and stir over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until straw-colored. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk. Return to heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened and very smooth.

2. Plunge the cabbage into boiling salted water in a very large saucepan and boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Sir the lemon juice and rind into the sauce, then season to taste with nutmeg and plenty of salt and pepper to bring out the lemon flavor.

4. Drain the cabbage well, then return to the rinsed-out saucepan. Pour in the sauce, then toss over gentle heat until the cabbage is lightly coated in the lemon sauce. Turn into a warmed serving dish; garnish and serve at once.
