Ingredients

Large knob of butter
Splash olive oil
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 celery sticks, finely chopped
⅓ leek, finely chopped
1 fresh thyme sprig
2 garlic cloves, chopped
½ savoy cabbage, finely shredded
2 tbsp pinhead oatmeal, toasted on a baking sheet in a warm oven until fragrant
Black and white sesame seeds to sprinkle (optional)

Method

Put the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat and melt the butter. Add the carrot, shallot, celery, leek, thyme and garlic, then cook for 5 minutes until softened but not coloured.
Add the cabbage with a splash of water so it steams. After 4-5 minutes, stir through the oatmeal. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then add the sesame seeds, if using.
