red cabbage
rating:Adapted from a Rick Stein recipe on the BBC website. Gorgeous with roast pork.
1 kg Red cabbage, core removed and the rest thinly sliced
2 Medium onions, thinly sliced
500g Cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
3 tbsp White wine vinegar
3 tbsp Muscovado sugar
½ tsp Ground spices: cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon
1 tsp Salt
30g Butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 150C. Layer all ingredients into a casserole, dot with butter and cover with a well-fitting lid.
Leave to cook for three hours, stirring once or twice.
very similar to my spiced red cabbage, which I think came from the sainted Delia. It's also gorgeous with goose, goulash, good sausages, cold meat ... one of our comfort foods.
