cabbage

soupThis is a seasonal Scottish recipe that is simple to make and can be stored and eaten as an accompaniment to meats or fish dishes.

Red cabbage is excellent shredded and eaten raw in salads, however if you are cooking it then steaming or stir-frying should be opted for.  In its raw state, cabbage contains iron, calcium, and potassium. Being high in vitamin C, vitamins B1, B2, and B3 it puts you well on your way to achieving the recommended daily vitamin allowance. 

Ingredients:
1 red cabbage
½ bottle red wine
zest & juice 1 orange
150g red currant jelly
100g brown sugar
Slice cabbage as thinly as you can and then place in a container and put in the fridge.

Method:
Mix the remainder of the ingredients together and pour over the cabbage which has been chilling in the fridge. 

Cover the container and place back in the fridge.

Turn the cabbage over as much as you can over the next 48 hours, then place in a pan that has an ovenproof lid.

Bring to the boil on the stove and then place in a medium heat oven for 20 minutes.

Take out and serve
