Background

Christmas dinner is not complete without braised red cabbage! It can be made in advance - even days before, so you just need to heat it up before serving. This orange and maple braised red cabbage is a boozy version – not suitable for young children!

Ingredients

1 small head red cabbage
1 red onion
1 green apple
1 glass of white wine
1 orange, zested and juiced
2 Tbsps of orange liqueur
2 Tbsps muscovado sugar
2 Tbsps of maple syrup
Salt and pepper
1 Bay leaf
Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau)

Instructions

Shred or thinly slice the cabbage and onion, then scatter them into a saucepan. Add all other ingredients, then gently simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the cabbage has become tender.
If the sauce hasn’t reduced, turn up the heat and reduce it to almost nothing.
Discard the bay leaf and stir in a spoonful of more liqueur
Keep it warm under a lid until you’re ready to serve.
