Warm red cabbage salad with blue cheese
Background
This warm red cabbage salad with blue cheese is incredibly easy to make and a perfect side dish at a dinner party or in a festive menu - it goes particularly well with roast poultry, pork or game. I used Gorgonzola but Stilton, Dolcelatte, Roquefort would also work. You can serve it with or without walnuts, according to your or your guests’ liking (you/they can scatter the walnuts over the salad just before eating).
Ingredients
- ½ red cabbage
- 1 red onion
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 50g walnuts (optional)
- 50g blue cheese, crumbled
- 2Tbsp (approx) maple syrup
Instructions
- Core and shred the cabbage. Finely slice the onion.
- Heat the oil in a pan then cook the onion for 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and thyme, put a lid on then turn down the heat and gently sauté for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook for another 5-10 minutes (covered) until al dente.
- Meanwhile toast the walnuts (if used) in a frying pan for 3-4 minutes and set aside.
- When the cabbage is cooked but still crunchy, season with salt and pepper and crumble the walnuts on top. Add some maple syrup to your liking and toss.
- Transfer to a serving plate and scatter the cheese on top. Drizzle with a drop of maple syrup and garnish with some more walnuts.
