Notes
Chalmar Farm Kitchen advice:
- Before cooking red cabbage, remove any tired or discoloured leaves, cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the stalks and shred or chop the leaves.
- Always cook red cabbage with a little vinegar as this preserves the beautiful purple colour – without it, the cabbage will turn blue!
- Slow-cooked red cabbage is a delicious, hearty side dish for your Sunday roast or pickled brisket. It makes a great get-ahead side, as the flavours develop with time.
