Ingredients

For the spiced red cabbage

  • 1 large bramley apple, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 50ml red wine vinegar

  • 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp bramble jelly or jam, or redcurrant jelly
  • 3 cloves
  • 5cm cinnamon stick
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 20 grinds black pepper

For the lamb chops

  • Plain flour for dusting

Method

  1. For the cabbage, heat the butter in a large saucepan (one with a tight-fitting lid) on a medium heat and fry the onion for 5-10 minutes. Add the shredded cabbage, cook for 2 minutes, then add the apple, vinegar, blueberries, brown sugar, jelly or jam, cloves, cinnamon stick, the salt and pepper and 125ml cold water. Cover with the lid and cook for about an hour until softened. After 45 minutes, check the liquid. If it looks dry, add a splash more; if it looks too runny, remove the lid and bubble gently to evaporate the excess. Remove the cloves and cinnamon stick before serving.
  2. Meanwhile, put the flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the lamb, toss in the flour, dip in the eggs, then coat in the breadcrumbs. Heat the clarified butter and oil in a large frying pan until hot, then fry the chops, in batches, for 7-8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Serve with the spiced cabbage. The chops are good with buttered, boiled potatoes and fresh parsley too.

  1. To make the clarified butter, put 100g unsalted butter in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat until melted. Skim off any foam from the surface, then pour off the clear fat into a bowl, leaving the milky residue (discard).

  2. Make the cabbage in advance and freeze for up to a month.
