Cabbage with bacon and juniper
Cabbage and bacon are a classic pair, and the garlic and juniper add a bit of extra flavour and fragance. You could also try this with kale. Eat with anything from chicken to chops, or baked eggs to baked aubergine.

- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 2 tbsp oil for frying
- 4 rashers of rindless streaky bacon, finely chopped
