Method
-
Tip the cabbage into a saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar and bay leaf and set over a high heat. Reduce to a simmer, stir well then cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage has wilted down. Set aside.
-
Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the eggs and return to the boil, then simmer for 4½ minutes until soft boiled. Drain and run under cold water until cool to the touch, then shell the eggs.
-
Heat a frying pan until hot. Add the olive oil and bacon and fry for 1-2 minutes until just starting to crisp up.
-
Add the onion and thyme and stir fry for 1 minute until softened, then add the potatoes and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy – stirring occasionally.
-
Stir in ½ of the pickled cabbage and season with black pepper then heat for another couple of minutes until hot through.
-
Divide between serving plates. Cut the boiled eggs in half top to bottom and place on top, then add plenty of black pepper and the last of the thyme leaves. Serve with the rest of the pickled cabbage.
