I love cabbage – there…I said it! Green cabbage is great lightly steamed with a bit of soya sauce but during the winter – Red Cabbage all the way. This recipe has Star Anise, Orange Juice and Apples in it along with some lovely winter spices.
I use to cook red cabbage on a low temp for ages…but I was in a rush recently so decided to see if I could do something faster. I popped it in a shallow dish, put the oven on high, cooked for 10 minutes and then covered with aluminium foil for another 20 minutes and voila! Fast and tasty.
