- Start by blanching 500 g of cabbage leaves in a large pot of salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Once done, quickly transfer them to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process.
- Once the cabbage leaves have cooled, remove the tough stems and veins. Slice them into 1-inch wide strips for easier cooking and serving.
- In a saucepan, combine the blanched cabbage, 80 g of butter, 80 ml of orange juice, 12 crushed juniper berries, and 80 g of julienned dried apricots. Cook over medium heat until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Once heated, give everything a good mix and serve hot as a delightful side dish, particularly delicious paired with grilled fish.
