Ingredients required:

• Salt and pepper
• 1-2 large green cabbages, such as Savoy
• 15g butter🧈
• 8 rashers smoked dry cured streaky bacon, chopped🐣
• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 tablesp. chopped thyme leaves
• 2 tablesp. chopped sage
• 1 teasp. paprika
• 250g minced pork🥩
• 250g minced beef🥩
• 450ml vegetable stock

For the sauce:
• 1 small onion🧅
• 4 cloves
• 500ml milk🥛
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ tsp black peppercorns
• 30g butter
• 30g plain flour
• Freshly grated nutmeg
• 200g cheese, thinly sliced🧀

Cooking instructions:
Cover the brown rice in cold water and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Drain the rice, tip into a non-stick pan and add 200ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover and cook over a low heat for 25 minutes. Leave to cool.🕙

For the sauce, stud the onion with the cloves and put into a pan with the milk, bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to the boil and set aside to infuse with the flavours.🌼

Meanwhile, remove 12 bright green leaves from the outside of the cabbages. Use the remainder of the cabbage for another meal. Drop the leaves into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Cut out and discard the thickest part of central stalk.🍀

Melt the butter in a pan, add the bacon and fry until cooked but not browned. Add the onion and garlic and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes until the onion is soft but not browned. Tip into a mixing bowl and leave to cool.💐

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180ºC (350ºF). Add the cooked rice to the onions with the chopped herbs, paprika, minced pork, minced beef, ½ teasp. salt and some black pepper. Mix together well with your hands. Divide the mixture into 12.

Place one portion of the stuffing into the centre of each cabbage leaf, fold in the sides and roll up. Place side-by-side, seam-side down, in a lightly buttered shallow ovenproof dish. Pour over the stock, cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.🕙

For the sauce, strain the infused milk into a jug. Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook for a few seconds. Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk.

Return to the heat and bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to high.

Drain away any excess stock from the baking dish. Pour the sauce over the cabbage leaves and cover with the sliced cheese. Grill for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve.🥳

Here is Neven's Beef Bourguignon With Creamy Mashed Potatoes!!!

Ingredients required:
•25g (1oz) butter🧈
•2 tbsp rapeseed oil

•100g (4oz) pancetta or rindless streaky bacon, cut into small, thin lardons🔥
•675g (1½lb) chuck steak, cut into bite- sized pieces
•50g (2oz) seasoned plain flour
•1 bottle of Burgundy red wine🍷
•150ml (¼ pint) beef stock🐂
•2 carrots, chopped
•2 celery sticks, chopped
•2 bay leaves
•2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to garnish
•225g (8oz) small chestnut mushrooms, trimmed🍄
•2 tbsp brandy sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Creamy Mashed Potatoes👻
•1.5kg (3¼lb) floury potatoes (such as Rooster), peeled and cut into even sized chunks
•120ml (4fl oz) milk🥛
•75g (3oz) butter sea salt and freshly ground black pepper snipped
•Fresh chives, to garnish🌺

To Serve:
Crusty French bread🍞

Cooking instructions:
To make the Beef Bourguignon:
Preheat the oven to 170°C(325°F), Gas Mark 3.

Heat half of the butter and oil in a large frying pan. Add the shallots and fry until they are just beginning to brown, then tip in the pancetta or bacon and fry until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Place the beef pieces in a zip lock bag with the seasoned flour. Shake until well coated, then remove, shaking off any excess. Add to the frying pan and fry until lightly golden on all sides. Transfer to a casserole dish with a lid.

Add a little of the red wine to the frying pan and scrape the bottom to remove any sediment, then pour this on top of the beef with the rest of the red wine and the stock, carrots, celery, bay leaves and thyme. Add the sautéed shallots and pancetta and season to taste. Stir to combine, then cover with a lid and place in the oven for 2 hours, until the meat is tender but still holding its shape.🥰

Halfway through cooking, heat the remaining oil and butter in a large frying pan and cook the mushrooms until just tender and lightly browned, stirring. Add the brandy and cook for another few minutes, then stir into the casserole and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time.🍬

When the beef bourguignon is ready, season to taste and garnish with the thyme leaves.

To make the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
Place the potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender without breaking up. Drain and return to the pan over a low heat to dry out.🍹

Mash the potatoes or pass them through a potato ricer or vegetable mouli if you want a really smooth finish. Heat the milk in a small pan or in the microwave. Using a wooden spoon, beat in the butter until melted, then beat the warm milk into the potatoes until you have a smooth, creamy mash. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once garnished with the snipped fresh chives.

Variation Garlic🧄 Mashed Potatoes🥔:
Garlic mashed potatoes are great served with main courses that already have plenty of gutsy flavours going on. Place 6 peeled garlic cloves in a pan with the milk and simmer very gently for about 10 minutes, until completely softened, then blitz to a thick purée with a hand blender and beat to the mashed potatoes.😋🤩

Serving Suggestions
Serve straight to the table with a separate bowl of crusty French bread to hand around.
