Braised Red Cabbage Recipe

This is a lovely warming recipe with a fabulous aroma and the reason why I grow red cabbages!

Ingredients

• 1 Red Cabbage
• 2 Medium Onions
• 2 Cooking Apples
• 3 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• Freshly Grated Nutmeg
• Salt & Pepper
• Garlic – 1 clove chopped

Method

• Shred the red cabbage, dice and core the apples and slice the onions.
• In a casserole dish add a layer of red cabbage, seasoning with salt and pepper, then half the onions, half of the apples, half the garlic, half of the sugar and a grating of fresh nutmeg.
• Repeat the layers and finish with a layer of red cabbage on the top. Add the red wine vinegar.
• Put a lid on the casserole dish and cook in the oven for about 2 hours. 150C / 300F / Gas Mark 2.

It can be cooked for a shorter time in a large, lidded saute pan on top of the cooker, stirring from time to time and adding a touch of water every now and then especially if the apples start to stick.
