Get a young and wonderful spring cabbage, slice it very thin, and then put it in a pan and stir-fry it in a tablespoon of oil. As soon as it wilts, cover the pan and let it simmer in its steam. It is ready in a few minutes, season with sea salt, some freshly nutmeg (grated), some fresh black pepper, and drop some butter all over it as you put the steaming dish on the table.
