Bring that festive feeling to your kitchen with some red cabbage simmering on the stove. This recipe can be made in advance, perfect if you are planning for a stress-free Christmas. For this recipe you will need a food processor.

Method


  1. Heat the butter and oil in a large lidded saucepan. When hot, add the onion and fry gently until softened. Stir in the spices. Add the cabbage and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glossy.

  2. Stir in the sugar, apples and red wine vinegar. Cover with a lid and let it cook gently for 30 minutes.

  3. Stir in the redcurrant or cranberry sauce (if using) and cook for a further 10 minutes. If you aren’t using the sauce, taste the cabbage and add a little more sugar if it’s too tart for your taste.
