favourite red cabbage recipes please

Recommended Posts

We have quite a few red cabbages on the allotment, and I have always struggled to cook them to my liking. I don't really like the whole over spiced and over sweet thing.

 

We have done it with red wine and chicken stock and that is quite nice. I would like to use some of the redcurrant jelly which I made in the summer, but don't want it too sweet.

 

I am cooking some lamb tomorrow and thought that the red cabbage would go well with it.

 

Any ideas please. :D

Blue poo eh :vom: think I'll give that one a miss - Delia does a nice braised cabbage -

2lb cabbage

1lb onions chopped small

1lb cooking apples cored and chopped small

3tbspns wine vinegar,

3tbsns brown sugar

1clove garlic

1/4 whole nutmeg#

1/4 tspn cinnamon

1/4 tspn ground clives

1/2 oz butter

S &P

Gas 2 300f 150c

shred cabbage finely - in large dish arrange a layer of cabbage, season with S&P then a layer of onions and apples sprinkl;ed with some garlic spices and sugar. continue with layers till all ingredints are in. Pour over wine vinegar and add k"Ooops, word censored!" of butter. cover and cook slowly for 2-3 hours stirring about twice during cooking. Is very good with meat.

We do make coleslaw out of it sometimes, it is a bit more chewy than white cabbage, but works quite well.

 

I am going to give the Saturday Kitchen recipe a go tonight to go with some sausage and mash. We bought 5 packs of sausages yesterday at Forest Showcase a small food festival in the Forest Of Dean. It's going to be a tasty sausagy week :lol:

Not to much spice and it will use my redcurrant jelly. :D

Made this tonight and it was lovely. I did cut the sugar down to 25g but used all the redcurrant jelly and it was sweet but not too sweet. The cabbage kept it's clour really well, not the sort of thing to eat if wearing white and it must not be spilt onto a pale carpet. DS was under threat of death if he did his usual trick of dropping half of the cutlery on the floor between dining table and kitchen. :lol:
