Jamie Oliver Red Cabbage Recipes

CHORIZO & PEAR RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Roughly dice the chorizo and place into a large casserole pan on a medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, or until the chorizo has released its oils, then add the fennel seeds. Peel and finely slice the red onion, add to the pan and cook for a few minutes, or until softened and smelling amazing.
• Click away any tatty outer leaves from the red cabbage, trim the base, then cut into wedges and roughly slice. Add to the pan with a swig of red wine vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook with the lid ajar on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tinned pears, with some of the juice, and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• This works great as a stand-alone recipe, but also as a component in Jamie's Taco Party from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• ON THE DAY Take your time to very finely slice the cabbage. Place in a bowl, finely chop and add the leaves from the herbs, squeeze in the lime and orange juice, and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Toss and scrunch together well, then season to perfection, tasting and tweaking. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Fantastic in a Homemade tortilla with Slow-cooked pork belly, Black beans & cheese, Green salsa and Roasted pineapple & hot red pepper sauce.

PICKLED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage in a colander over the sink and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 2-3 hours, then drain and wash away the salt. Pay dry with a clean tea towel.
• Put the vinegar, wine, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaves into a big, wide saucepan and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half. Set aside for 10 mins to infuse.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a jug or bowl, and discard the peppercorns and bay leaves. Put the cabbage and mustard seeds into a big bowl, and then pour the strained liquid over. Transfer the cabbage and pickling liquid into sterilised jars and seal. Will last for a month in the fridge.

STICKY SPICED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan, add cabbage, ginger, onions, allspice and mustard seeds, then cook for 5 mins until just starting to wilt.
• Scatter over the sugar and pour in the vinegar. Cover pan, gently cook for 10 mins, then remove lid and turn up the heat to medium. Simmer the liquid in the cabbage for about 20 mins, stirring occasionally, then stir continuously for the last few mins until all the liquid has evaporated and becomes sticky on the bottom of the pan. Tip cabbage into a large bowl and serve.
