Method
step 1
Finely slice the red cabbage, discarding the core. Put the cabbage in a non-reactive bowl with the orange zest, bay leaf and coriander seeds. Mix the sea salt flakes, sugar and white wine vinegar together in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the cabbage and use your hands to scrunch everything together for 1-2 mins until the cabbage starts to soften. Chill for 30 mins before using. Will keep chilled for a week – it will get softer the longer you leave it.
