Background

Braised red cabbage with apple is a classic side dish to serve with roast pork and roast turkey. This dairy-free version is braised in cider, so it's perfect for special occasions and celebrations.

Ingredients

½ medium red cabbage
1Tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion
1 cinnamon stick
¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 bay leaf
100-150 ml cider
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp cane sugar (soft & light)
1 apple
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Cut the cabbage in half. Remove the tough outer leaves and cut out the hard core. Finely slice or shred to give long strands.
Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and gently fry the onion until soft and translucent.
Add the cabbage, stir through, then add the cinnamon, nutmeg & bay leaf followed by the cider, vinegar and sugar. Season to taste, stir well.
Bring to a simmer and, under cover, cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally or until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunchiness.
Core and slice the apple, add to the cabbage; cook for a further 5-10 minutes until the apple is just softened.
Taste, adjust seasoning. Serve warm.

Tips

I like braised cabbage cooked al dente, but if you prefer the cabbage (and the apple) very soft - cook for another 15-20 minutes.
