I need a really good red cabbage recipe

[MrsSpenserGregson]

This is my first Christmas as a vegetarian, and I've been looking forward to having red cabbage on Christmas Day for months. (Yes I lead a sad life). I'd ordered the braised red cabbage and apple dish from M&S which I collected yesterday, but when I got it home it had spit open and leaked all over my bag

So I'll have to make it myself as there's no way I'm going to a big supermarket again before Christmas Day, and our local Tesco express /sainsburys local don't have any red cabbage dishes. There are loads of recipes online but I need something that has been tried and tested - help me please MNetters!

I can highly recommend this one OP: here

I always trust Delia with the classics

I was just going to advise you buy the red cabbage and apple by M&S - I'm having it for dinner tonight and LOVE it . Sorry yours got ruined.

I always use the Delia one and get lots of compliments!

Another vote for Saint Delia (mine is in the oven right now, it's always better after a day or so).

I've just made delias in the slow cooker and it smells bloody amazing!!!

Delia, always, 100%.

Yes Delia. Although I made Jaimie Oliver's one from his Christmas book yesterday and it was gorgeous. Just leave out the bacon.

I am getting organised and have my Delia one in the oven too . You can never go wrong with her recipes, her complete collection is the one cookbook I not only kept but replaced when it fell to bits.

In case you were in any doubt Delia's is great! It works just as well being done in the oven or slow cooker.

This one is very nice too!

I make Mary berry's - so easy and yummy!

Delia, and it freezes well to boot.

Been making it since 1990 when 'Christmas' was first published, and it is always good.

This one and only this one. Easy, tangy,
fruity and completely delicious!!

I think I usually make this one:

Which is almost identical to Delia’s but it cooks in cider. I’m going to do it in the slow cooker this year for space reasons

Another vote for Deliah. It’s lovely

Yarp to Delia's. It's unkillable - it gets better the longer you keep it in the fridge and it freezes really well too.

I recommend Delia too.

Ok perfect, thank you everyone. I'll do the Delia one tomorrow morning and pop it in the fridge overnight; then I'll try one of the BBC ones next time and decide which I prefer!

Delia's - I'm just freezing some now to enjoy in January....

Delia's red cabbage is in my oven as we speak

Ditto 😁

I forgot to get any bramley apples and can't be bothered to go out to the shops again. Do you reckon I could use normal apples and leave out some/all of the sugar from the waitrose or delia recipes?

Ooh I'm following this as I've recently developed a possibly unhealthy love for red cabbage!
