Method

Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2. Melt the butter in a casserole or large baking tray and fry the onion until tender, without letting it brown.
Add the other ingredients, stir well and add 100ml of water. Cover with foil or a lid and cook in the oven for 30 minutes – check it after 15 minutes – until the cabbage is soft, sweet and sour. Check the seasoning. You may wish to serve it garnished with extra butter.
