Instructions

  1. Prepare all your ingredients as directed above. Mix together the ground spices and brown sugar in a bowl. Preheat your oven to 160C / 140C fan / gas mark 3 / 325F.
  2. Arrange about a quarter of the cabbage at the bottom of a large casserole dish
  3. Sprinkle over about a third of the onions, a third of the apple, a third of the garlic and a third of the sugar and spice mix. Add a few twists of salt and pepper.
  4. Add another layer of cabbage, followed by another layer of onions, apple, garlic, spices, salt and pepper.
  5. Repeat a third time and then top with the remaining red cabbage.
  6. Pour over 3 tablespoons of red or white wine vinegar (this will help preserve the colour of the cabbage, so don’t miss this step out!) and dot with approximately 10g of butter.
  7. Put a tight lid on the casserole dish (use foil if you don’t have a lid) and cook in your pre-heated oven for 2½ hours, stirring twice during cooking time.
  8. Serve immediately or leave to cool then store in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.

Notes

  • To reheat, simply place in a saucepan with approximately 100ml water and heat gently with a lid on until the cabbage is hot (about 5 minutes).
  • Suitable for freezing.
