Notes

Tip
Cook the cabbage until it is cooked through you really dont want crunchy greens in this recipe.
Variation
This is traditionally a leftovers dish you can just throw all the remaining cooked vegetables from a roast together. The one thing you will definitely need though is potatoes either mashed or roasted enough that they can be squashed down.
Variation
If you want to make this a little more fancy, add a tablespoon of mustard to the mixture before pan frying.
