Braised red cabbage

Delicious, spiced and piquant accompaniment to deeply-rich wintery food, like a beef & red wine stew. Also purple, so it’s a double win.

  • 1 red onion, sliced into half moons
  • 2 apples, peeled and finely sliced
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 60ml red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 50g brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper

  2. Add cabbage and apples and cook for a couple of mins
  3. Add spices, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper
  4. Stir together, bring to a bubble and cook with the lid on for about 45 mins to an hour, stirring occasionally
