1 head cabbage
4 tablespoons butter
½ pint rich white sauce
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
4 tablespoons freshly-ground Parmesan (or Cheddar)
Shred cabbage and soak in salted cold water for ½ hour. Drain well. Melt butter; add shredded cabbage and simmer, covered, until cabbage is just tender, but not browned. Line a large casserole with half the simmered cabbage. Add half the white sauce; sprinkle with black pepper and half the grated cheese. Add the remaining cabbage; pour remaining sauce over the top and add more pepper and remainder of grated cheese. Place in slow oven (350°F) and cook until the casserole bubbles and the top is golden brown - about ½ hour.
