My favourite way of cooking cabbage

When I was young I hated cabbage, I didn't like the taste or the texture.  I must say I'm still not a big fan of cabbage which is a shame as lots of other folk seem to love it.  Odd really that I don't like cabbage but I do like sprouts!  Anyway, as others in the family like the stuff I've developed my own way of cooking it that seems to please all of us, they still get their cabbage and I can eat it as I've disguised the flavour :-)  For those in the same state of quandary here's my way of cooking cabbage.

Ingredients
1 cabbage - I prefer savoy but any sort will do
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 rashers of smoked back bacon
6 cooked and peeled chestnuts

Method
Put a frying pan on the heat, chop the bacon into small squares and add it to the pan.  While the bacon is crisping chop the chestnuts as finely as you can then add them to the bacon and fry until everything is well coated.  Meanwhile peel the leaves from the cabbage and cut out the central stalks.  Once you've done this us a sharp knife and slice the leaves into 3-4mm strips.   Wash the cabbage and then add it to the pan, stir to make sure the cabbage is coated in the oil, bacon and chestnuts and cook for no more than a couple of minutes so the cabbage retains it's crispness.  Serve and savour :-)
