Method

  • step 1

    Quarter the red cabbage and remove the core, then finely shred. Tip into a large pan with the red onion, brown sugar, cider vinegar, red wine, butter and cinnamon stick and season well. Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid, lower the heat and cook for 1 1/ 2 hrs, stirring every so often. Remove the lid and continue cooking for 30 mins until tender. Will keep for two days, or can be frozen for two months. Reheat until piping hot.

can you freeze this as I would like to cook the whole cabbage and save some?

question

Could this be served cold as a buffet dish?

Not good served cold as it’s got butter in it, which needs to melt before you eat it. You can serve it’ warm’ but this might mean last minute prep. I’ve made this recipe for years and it freezes well. I’m cooking for myself and even a ‘ small’ red cabbage is far too much for 1

Could I do this in the slow cooker?
