Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, finely chopped
- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 150ml red wine
- 1 red cabbage (about 900g/2lb), shredded
- 2 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
- 2 Bramley apples, peeled and chopped
Method
Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish, add the onions and cook on a medium heat for 8-10 mins, then add the star anise and cinnamon stick.
Pour in the wine and let it simmer until slightly reduced. Add the cabbage, sugar and apples, and stir well. Season well, cover and simmer on a low heat for 3 hrs, stirring every now and again.
Once the cabbage is tender, check the seasoning. Serve in a bowl with the star anise and cinnamon stick on top. Can be made 1-2 days in advance or frozen for up to 4 months – simply reheat on the hob before serving.
