| | | Red Cabbage With Apple
Last year one of the supermarkets did a great red cabbage with apple. I bought one today from Sainos and it is not the same.
I loved this dish and ate it nearly every day last year but cant remember where I got it from. Maybe Tesco, or Asda or Marks's but not Waitrose |

Off the top of my head
cabbage onion studded with six cloves, an eating apple, brown sugar, splash of red wine + redwine vinegar, cinnamon stick.....
hmm try the BBC's recipe site it's bound to be on there, it's a good website too you can type in ingrediants you have hanging around and it will bring up what you can cook with them... BBC - Food - Recipes
yeah had a look there's lots of braised red cabbage recipes (which is pretty much the same thing) they won't taste the same as Sanos but they'l taste much better because you made them....  |

I am a big girl ..and at a guess.. old enough to be his mum!! and I like my food.. but I prefer it prepared for me to cooking it for myself. I have become adept at creating good meals using only my steamer and my microwave.. It is amazing the stuff you can do with the steamer.. I even have made soup in it!.. I will explain if anyone is interested

Delia Smith's recipe for braised red cabbage with apple is v tasty and pretty straightforward if you don't mind doing a lot of chopping up. Basically half the weight of cabbage in onions and same weight of cooking apples as onions. Chop them all small (peel and take cores out of apples first). In a casserole put a layer of chopped cabbage, salt and pepper to taste, then a layer of mixed onion and apple with a pudding spoon of brown sugar and a sprinkling of mixed spice. Keep adding layers until all the stuff is in. Then pour over 3 tablespoons of wine vinegar and put in the oven (300F/150C) for 3 hours, stirring it now and again.
We're having some with our Christmas ducks. Good with sausages as well.
Ooh, I'm hungry now (big woman who likes her food ) |

My wife is a strict "veggie" and makes loads of fantastic dishes and her red cabbage one is possibly my favourite.
I know its got onions, apples, sultanas etc... in it but I wouldn't have a clue how to make it.
I really enjoy it with some good quality fried sausages, which she will still happily cook for me, despite handling them as though they were toxic waste! |

I enjoyed my shop today. The food is always better at Xmas, Better recipes. Yummy |

We now breed Belgian-blue x Limousin hybrids, their growth rate is astonishing, plus the meat has a lower fat content and so the end price and profit margins are far better.
I agree about Xmas food, trouble is I usually end up a bit rounder across the middle for a while  |

This is a coincidence. The other day, for no apparent reason, it occurred to me that bacon, red cabbage and apple would go well together.
It is at the back of my mind that this has a Russian origin. Is that correct? |

I remember eating the red cabbage dish a long time back - I must cook myself some now as you just reminded me. My kids won't touch it though so it'll be single portion cooking AGAIN!! Damn my fussy children

I've kept it up to 3 months and it tastes even better when it's reheated. |
