If there was ever a silver lining to lockdown it was this! It’s the BEST thing you’ll ever do with red cabbage!
What’s important here is time & wine. You’re aiming for succulence and a pleasing chewy outer layer.
It pairs beautifully with mash and roasted baby onions & carrots. Or you can roast potato wedges and other veges part way through adding a little oil on top. Mushrooms are nice too.
The stock we use is Massel “beef-style” vegan stock powder. Notice in the top photo we’ve used green cabbage as well. It makes for an interesting flavour, colour and texture contrast but by far the red cabbage excels here.
