Serves: 6 - 8
Tools Used:
Ingredients:
- 1 small-medium red cabbage (approx. 800g)
- 1 red onion
- 1 apple
- 50g butter
- 200g jar cranberry sauce
- 300ml apple juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Sea salt and black pepper
Method:
- Cut the red cabbage into wedges and cut out the white core. Peel the red onion and cut into quarters, and remove the core from the apple. Using a gourmet drum grater, coarsely grate the cabbage, red onion and apple.
- Melt the butter in a medium-large saucepan and add the grated vegetables, cranberry sauce, apple juice, cinnamon stick, red wine vinegar and season well. Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid and cook on a low-medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- The cabbage should be just tender; if not continue to cook for a further 5 minutes or so.
- Serve hot or leave to cool and gently warm through when needed.
Tip:
Chill any leftover red cabbage and turn it into a vibrant festive slaw by stirring through some grated carrot, crème fraîche, yogurt, or mayonnaise, a splash of red wine vinegar, and a handful of chopped parsley. Perfect served with cold meats and pickles for a laid-back Boxing Day lunch.
