Background

Braised red cabbage with chestnuts goes perfectly with roast turkey, duck or goose - so it's an ideal side-dish for a Thanksgiving or Christmas menu. It can be made in advance - just reheat it 15 minutes before serving, adding the cranberries and cranberry sauce to it at the that point.

Ingredients

1 red cabbage (medium)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 red onion
4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 Tbsp soft brown sugar
100g fresh cranberries
3 Tbsp cranberry sauce

Instructions

Chop the onion.
Heat the oil in a heavy-based pot and gently soften the onion. This should take about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, core and thinly slice the cabbage, then add to the onion.
Add the vinegar and sugar, season with salt and pepper.
Cook gently, under cover, on a low heat for 30-40 minutes until tender.
When the cabbage is softened, stir in the cranberries and the cranberry sauce.
Cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve warm.
