INSTRUCTIONS

Take a whole large red Cabbage.

Slice it up into strips, as evenly as you can.

Pop a large high walled frying pan onto the hob on a medium heat.

Add a knob of Butter.

Pop in a Cinnamon stick, 4-6 Cloves and 2 Star anise.

Once the Butter is gently foaming chuck in the red Cabbage and season.

Stir the Cabbage, coating it in the Butter then pop in 1-3 table spoons of Honey and caramelise.

After 3-4 minutes pour in some red Wine, around 300ml.

Add a splash of red Wine Vinegar.

Braise the Cabbage for around 30 minutes or until the Cabbage is nice and tender.

Remove the spices from the pan.

At this point you can adjust the balance of sweetness and acid by adding more Vinegar or Honey depending on your preference.

Once the Cabbage is balanced it is ready to serve.
