2lbs. (900 g) red cabbage, tough outer leaves removed
1 lb (450 g) cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped small
½ tsp grated nutmeg, fresh if possible
3 tablespoons dark brown soft sugar
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
½ oz (10 g) butter
Salt & pepper
1) This can be cooked in an oven (150C) or slowly on your stove top.
2) Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the hard stalk. Shred the cabbage finely.
3) Arrange a layer of shredded cabbage seasoned with salt and pepper in the casserole dish or heavy bottomed saucepan, then a layer of chopped apples with a sprinkling of nutmeg and sugar.
4) Continue with these alternative layers until everything is in.
5) Now pour in the vinegar and, lastly, add dots of butter on the top.
6) Place a tight-fitting lid on the casserole and let it cook very slowly for 2-2 ¼ hours, stirring everything around once or twice during the cooking. Yum!
