Savoy Vertus
Crinkled, dark green, and extremely frost-hardy. The savoy texture means the leaves hold sauces and dressings in their wrinkles. A winter staple that improves after frost and looks magnificent in a cold-weather garden.

Savoy cabbage parcels
Blanch whole leaves, wrap around a filling of rice, minced pork, herbs, and tomato. Nestle in a roasting tin, pour over stock, and braise slowly until the parcels are tender and the sauce has thickened. Eastern European comfort food.
