Red cabbage is a perfect winter dish. It is the classic accompaniment to roast pork and game dishes and also goes well with ham at Christmas or sausages, any day of the week.

Preparation method

1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the cabbage, red wine and allspice. Reduce heat, cover and cook gently for 20 minutes or until tender.

2. Add the vinegar, sugar and salt and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the butter and serve.

COOK SMART

You could also add one peeled and chopped apple to the pan. And if you happen to have some fresh cranberries, they could go in too – 10 minutes before the other vegetables are cooked. For a twist, replace the allspice with one star anise.
