Method

Put all the ingredients in a large saucepan with 1.5 litres of water and a generous amount of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer on the hob, then cook, uncovered, stirring now and then, for 2-3 hours until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has reduced to just coat the cabbage. Remove the star anise and cinnamon, season to taste, then serve or chill until needed.
