Red Cabbage


My veggie delivery people gave me some red cabbage.


I made some coleslaw, with mayonnaise, red onion, and carrot and some braised cabbage. This comes from the ABC website, and it was delicious!

Quick red cabbage and apple

Serves 4 people

Degree of difficulty: Low

You need:

45g butter
4 cups sliced red cabbage
I red apple, finely chopped
1 or 2 star anise
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
Salt to serve


Method:

Melt 45g butter in a saucepan, add half a finely chopped red apple, 4 cups sliced red cabbage (about 1/4 of a cabbage) and 1 or 2 whole star anise (or ground star anise).

Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring until cabbage softens.

Add 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, 1 tablespoon each of white wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar.

Stir, cover and cook very gently for ten minutes until the cabbage is still a little crisp.

Remove star anise.

Seasons to taste with salt and serve.
