About the recipe
The classic combo of braised red cabbage and smoky bacon with juicy apple is an absolute winner.
Recipe From
Ingredients
1 onion
1 red cabbage
2 eating apples
2 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon
½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley (15g)
olive oil
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
150ml balsamic vinegar
1 small knob of unsalted butter
Method
- Peel and slice the onion. Click off and discard any tatty outer leaves from the cabbage, then remove the core and chop into irregular chunks.
- Peel the apples, then chop into 2.5cm pieces, and pick and finely chop the parsley leaves. Finely slice the bacon.
- Drizzle a good lug of oil into a pan over a medium heat, add the bacon, then bash and add the fennel seeds and cook until golden.
- Add the onion, cover, and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and sticky.
- Scatter in the apple and cabbage, season with sea salt, black pepper and the vinegar, then stir well.
- Pop the lid back on, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 1 hour, or until gorgeously sticky and sweet, stirring occasionally.
- Scoop into a serving dish, pop the butter on top and sprinkle over the parsley, then serve.
