Red cabbage - need recipie ideas.

[Maudy]

I now have 2 red cabbages from my veg box that are sitting unused and i refuse to throw them away. The second one is about as big as my 7 yr olds head and would feed a family of 20!

I know how to make braised cabbage with apple or raisins, stewing it for hours with vinegar etc and i do love this recipe, but there is only so much braised red cabbage one can eat especially as the DS's don't like it.

I have tried stir frying it which is ok, but if anyone has any other good recipes i would love to know.

Me too Maudy! If you look on the riverford website there is a recipe for Red Cabbage and Stilton Pie, which I'm going to try. Otherwise you could make soup I guess.

I'm Riverford too! Seems to be alot of red cabbage and cauliflower at the mo. I have never tried red cabbage soup but my friend made it and said it was disgusting!

I'll have a look for the pie, thanks.

Pork and Red Cabbage Bake

1lb cubed pork
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
I onion, finely chopped
1.5lb red cabbage, shredded
1 cooking apple, peeled cored and chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1oz raisins
1/4 pint chicken stock
1.5lb potatoes, cubed in their skins and parboiled

Heat some oil in a large pan, add the pork and brown. Remove and set aside.

Add the cumin and onion to the pan and fry for about 2 mins, stirring. Add the cabbage, apple, sugar, vinegar, raisins, stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 4 - 5 minutes until the cabbage is softened slightly. Season to taste.

Toss the potatoes in a little oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place half the cabbage mixture into an ovenproof dish, spoon over the pork. Cover with the remaining cabbage, then top with the potatoes.

Bake at 180C for about 40 minutes.

oooh that sounds yum, thanks WWB. IS that recipe for 4?

Yes, serves 4. It freezes well too, if you want to make it in bulk. I can't vouch for the taste because I'm veggie but dh likes it.

coleslaw?
I love stir fried cabbage, olive oil, bacon and onion. The pop it in the oven with grated cheese and breadcrumbs for a while.
Eat it with something saucy and its yummy.
