Very Christmassy red cabbage

Ingredients

  1. 2 tbsp butter, plus a little extra to garnish (optional)
  2. 1 medium red onion, chopped
  3. 1 cooking apple, peeled, cored and very roughly diced
  4. 1 small to medium red cabbage, up to 1kg, thinly sliced
  5. 3 tbsp cider vinegar
  6. 1 tbsp brown sugar
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 3 cloves
  9. Handful dried fruit such as raisins, or even apricots

Method

  1. 1. 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.
