Description
The classic combo of braised red cabbage and smokey bacon with juicy apple is an absolute winner.
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 2 rashers of bacon, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, bashed
- 1 onion
- handful of parsley
- 1 red cabbage
- 1 small knob of butter
- 150 mg balsamic vinegar
- 2 eating apples, peeled and chopped into 2.5cm pieces
Instructions
- Pour a good glug of olive oil into a saucepan, get it hot and add the bacon and fennel seeds. Cook until golden then add the onion and continue to cook, with the lid on, for a few more minutes until golden and sticky.
- Add the apple, followed by the cabbage chunks, salt and pepper and the vinegar, and stir everything together well.
- Put the lid back on and continue to cook on a low heat for an hour, checking and stirring every so often. You will end up with a gorgeously sticky-sweet cabbage dish that you’ll want to eat immediately, straight out of the pan! Or, if you can wait long enough, scoop it into a serving dish, pop the butter on top and sprinkle over the parsley.
