A great vegetable dish, ideal at Christmas, freezes well

Cabbage is in season all year round. This festive dish is delicious and very easy to make. Best of all it is ideal for Christmas Day and can be made a month in advance and frozen!


This is one of the dishes that I demonstrate in the workplace for the December session - taking the hassle out of Christmas - please contact me if you would like to know more about how I can bring my cookery demos to your workplace.


Ingredients:

450g Red Cabbage

450g Cooking apples

1 tbsp vinegar

2 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

5 star anise

1 tsp ground cinnamon

120ml water


Directions:
1. Shred the cabbage.

2. Place in a saucepan with vinegar, sugar,salt , star anise (tied in muslin cloth), cinnamon and water, bring to the boil.

3. Peel, core and quarter the apples, lay on top of cabbage, reduce the heat to a simmer.

4. Cover and cook for approx 30 mins with lid on until the water is absorbed.

5. This can be frozen and reheated when needed.

6. Omit star anise & cinnamon if you prefer.


Notes: Ideal to freeze, so I suggest you make a large batch and freeze!
