Ingredients

Servings
  • ¼ onion
  • 3 ½ cups red cabbage ( 3 ½cups is approx ½ a small cabbage)
  • 1 apple or ½ large
  • ½ tablespoon butter or vegetable oil, as you have/prefer
  • 3 cloves or ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar or can use apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup orange juice or you can use apple cider/cloudy apple juice

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion in a small dice (or you can slice, if you prefer), shred the cabbage relatively finely and peel and grate the apple. 
  2. Warm the oil or butter in a pan and add the onion. Cook for a couple minutes until it softens. Add the cabbage, part at a time as needed to help it wilt down a little to create more space, and cook for a couple minutes so it starts to soften, stirring now and then to coat with the butter/oil.  
  3. Add the vinegar, cloves and orange juice and mix. Add the apple and mix in well then cover. Reduce the heat and allow it to steam/sweat for around 30 minutes until tender, stirring now and then to make sure it doesn't burn on the bottom. If it gets too dry, add a little water or extra juice.
  4. Remove the cloves, if using whole cloves, and serve.

Notes

  • Some people add up to around ½ - 1 tablespoon sugar or red currant jam towards the end to give it a slightly sweeter edge, and also richness if using the jam. Feel free to add some, to taste.
