Red Cabbage With Pears Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions and sauté for about 8 mins. Stir in the garlic and juniper and cook for 1 min more. Add as much cabbage as you can and cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, then make room for more and add the rest with the cinnamon, vinegar, sugar and stock.
• Give everything a good stir, then cover the pan and leave to cook over a low heat for 35 mins, stirring occasionally and checking it isn't catching on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the pears and cook for 10-15 mins more, depending on their ripeness. If freezing, cook for just 5 mins. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 1 week.

Steps:

• Put the cabbage, pears, ginger, stock and vinegar into a pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat. Cover, then gently cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 mins. Stir in the walnuts.
• Split the pork fillet almost in half down its length, then open out like a book. Rub on all sides with the oil and smear with mustard. Grill for 15 mins, turning once, until the pork is browned and just cooked. Cover with foil, rest for 2 mins, then slice and serve with the cabbage.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the pears in a large pan and cover with a tight- fitting lid. Cook on a low heat for 1 hr, then stir through the pears. Cover and cook for 1 hr more until the cabbage is really tender. If at any point the cabbage looks dry, add a splash of water. If there is still liquid in the pan at the end, turn the heat right up to evaporate it. Season with a little salt and serve. The cabbage can be prepared ahead and either chilled or frozen. Then reheat in the pan or in a microwave.
