Braised Red Cabbage Beets And Leeks Recipes

RED CABBAGE WITH BEETROOT

Steps:

• 1 Mix the sugar with 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, layer up a handful of the cabbage, onions, apples and beetroot with the spices and sprinkle with some of the sugar, repeating with the layers until all the ingredients are used up.
• Mix the wine, vinegar and stock cube, pour over the cabbage and dot the butter on top. Tightly cover the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. When you can hear it boiling, turn down the heat to low and simmer for 30 mins. Stir well - the mixture will have reduced and softened - then cover and simmer for 15-30 mins more depending on how soft you like it.
