About

I like this served with hare, pigeon or roast pork. I will sometimes cook a whole hand of pork buried deep in the cabbage. The pork gives the juices a rich gelatinous quality.

Ingredients

1 small red cabbage
2 onions, sliced
2 cooking apples, cored and sliced

Gluten-free

Method

Quarter the cabbage, cut out the tough core, and shred finely. Place in a flameproof casserole with all the other ingredients and mix well. Bring to the boil, check seasonings, then cover tightly and cook in a preheated oven, 140°C/275°F/gas mark 1, for 2–3 hours
