Prep the vegetables a day in advance and mix in all the spices then store in the fridge overnight.
Serves 6-8 | Takes 1¼ hours
Ingredients
- 1 small red cabbage, about 400g cored and shredded
- 2 small red onions, finely sliced
- 2 pears, peeled, cored and diced
- 150ml (¼ pint) sweet cider
- 2 tbsp chimichurri hot
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
- 1/8 tsp of ground allspice
- 1/8 tsp of ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp of ground cinnamon
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- a pinch of salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Method
Place everything in a large heavy-based pot with a lid, bring up to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 45 min. The cabbage should taste rich and silky, if there is still a lot of liquid remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 15min.
Drizzle with olive oil just before serving and season generously.
