Can someone give me a nice recipe to use a red cabbage up?!
Answers: I really don't know why I bought it, but since I did, any ideas?
Red cabbage finely sliced.
Red onion finely sliced
Red apple finely diced (optional)
Garlic (As much or as little as you like)
A dash of lemon juice
Oil for frying, not too much.
Salt, Pepper, Caraway seeds
Small amount of stock, any type but fish.
Finely slice or dice veg or fruit. Fry the cabbage and red onion together but add the lemon juice straight away - this prevents the cabbage going a ghastly blue colour. Add the apple and stir in, add everything else and then leave to simmer for a while, the longer the better, and even better on the next day.
Serve with pork, chicken, beef, whatever though pork is more traditional. Mash, boil or roast potatoes to go with, make a gravy and it is a lovely warming, comforting dish.
Pickle it and have it with Cottage Pie.
red cabbage is best in a salad instead of lettuce - yummy

slow cooked pork and red cabbage
1.5kg pork shoulder
1 rounded tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp thyme leaves
3 tbsp olive oil
2 onions , chopped
1.5kg red cabbage , finely shredded
2 apples , peeled, cored and cut into eighths
425ml red wine
200g pack vacuum-packed chestnuts
2 tbsp cranberry or redcurrant jelly
Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Cut the pork into thick slices, about 3cm thick. Coarsely crush the peppercorns and sprinkle over the pork along with the thyme and some salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large flameproof casserole, then add the onions and fry until lightly browned. Add the cabbage and stir well, then add the apples and wine and cook until the cabbage starts to soften. Finally, add the chestnuts, 1 tbsp of the jelly, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 5 mins.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the pork and fry on both sides until browned, then stir in the remaining tbsp of the jelly. Cook for a few mins until the pork is deeply browned and glistening. Arrange the pork over the cabbage. Pour a little boiling water into the frying pan, stir well to lift up all the pan juices, then pour over the pork. 4 Cover the pan tightly, then cook in the oven for 1?-1? hrs until the pork is very tender.
Freezing
Freeze at the end of step 4. Defrost in the fridge overnight. Add a little more water if it looks dry, then bring to the boil. Return to the oven at 160C/fan 140C/gas 3 for 20-25 mins until heated through.
braised red cabbage and apple
Ingredients
1 small red cabbage
25g butter
1 large onion, finely sliced
? tsp ground allspice
? tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 Bramley apple, peeled, cored and grated
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
Method
Finely slice the cabbage, discarding the core and any tough pieces. Melt the butter in a pan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium heat. Cook the onion uncovered for 5 minutes until soft but not browned.
Stir in the spices then add the cabbage, apple, red wine vinegar and sugar plus 100ml cold water. Stir until thoroughly mixed and the sugar has dissolved. Season generously.
Bring to the boil, then cover tightly and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender and the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the redcurrant jelly, allow to melt, then serve.
Cook's tips
If you make this ahead, reheat it in the pan. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of cold water, cover and cook gently over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until piping hot.
red cabbages are great if you boil them down and get all of the colour out. then you can have fun with the dye!! put it in the water of some white cut flowers and watch them go red day by day: a great science experiment to do with children!!
also, red cabbages are good cooked normally with roast beef, carrots and broccoli.
hope this helps, =]
