Red Cabbage With Mulled Port Pears Recipes

RED CABBAGE WITH MULLED PORT & PEARS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the pears in a large pan and cover with a tight- fitting lid. Cook on a low heat for 1 hr, then stir through the pears. Cover and cook for 1 hr more until the cabbage is really tender. If at any point the cabbage looks dry, add a splash of water. If there is still liquid in the pan at the end, turn the heat right up to evaporate it. Season with a little salt and serve. The cabbage can be prepared ahead and either chilled or frozen. Then reheat in the pan or in a microwave.

PORK WITH BRAISED RED CABBAGE & PEARS

Steps:

• Put the cabbage, pears, ginger, stock and vinegar into a pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat. Cover, then gently cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 mins. Stir in the walnuts.
• Split the pork fillet almost in half down its length, then open out like a book. Rub on all sides with the oil and smear with mustard. Grill for 15 mins, turning once, until the pork is browned and just cooked. Cover with foil, rest for 2 mins, then slice and serve with the cabbage.

MULLED RED CABBAGE WITH CLEMENTINES

Steps:

• Stud the whole clementine with the cloves and set aside.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a big saucepan or flameproof casserole. Cover and cook for 30 mins, then snuggle in the studded clementine, cover again and cook for 30 mins more until the cabbage is tender. Season and eat hot or at room temperature.
