3
Return the cabbage, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh thyme right before serving.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the allspice in the oil before adding anything wet.
