Sticky Spiced Red Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients except for the apples in a large saucepan and season. Place over a medium heat, bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 30 mins. Add the apples, then continue cooking for 15 mins until tender.

Steps:

• Tip the cabbage into a large pan with the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon and star anise. Season well. Put over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce the heat and cook for 1 hr, simmering gently and stirring occasionally.
• Remove the lid, turn the heat up to medium and continue cooking for 20 mins, uncovered, until tender and the liquid has reduced to a sticky syrup. Once cool, will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for three days or frozen for up to two months. Reheat over a low heat. Stir in the butter before serving.

Steps:

• Peel off the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut into quarters and slice out the core. Use a sharp knife or the slicing attachment of a food processor to thinly slice the cabbage.
• Heat the butter in a large saucepan, then tip in the onions and gently fry until softened, about 5 mins. Add the orange zest to the pan along with the cinnamon stick, then cook for 1 min more. Add the shredded cabbage, then pour over the port, red wine vinegar, orange juice and 150ml water. Bring up to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 45 mins-1 hr until the cabbage is softened.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Put the star anise, cinnamon stick and cardamom pods in the centre of a small square of muslin, and tie the ends together to make a bag. Put the spice bag in a medium flameproof casserole dish.
• Remove any wilted or tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut it into quarters, then remove and discard the core. Shred the cabbage finely and layer up in the dish with the garlic, onions, apple and brown sugar.
• Spoon over the vinegar and dot the top with the butter. Cover with a lid and cook for 21/2-3 hrs, stirring twice during cooking - the cabbage should be tender but not mushy. Remove the spice bag and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring 1 in. of water and cabbage to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Return to pan; stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until cabbage is tender. Remove bay leaf.

Steps:
