RED CABBAGE WITH SAVORY AND APPLE

This is another of my favourite dishes, made all the more powerful by adding savory. It can be served hot or cold and keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week. My family enjoys it hot with grilled/broiled meat or game, or with ham baked in cider and orange over the Christmas holidays. It is also excellent served cold a couple of days later with a strong Cheddar cheese or Cornish Yarg and good bread.

Preparation: 20 mins

Cooking: 2 hrs 20 mins

Serves 8

1 red cabbage

30g/1oz/2 tbsp butter, plus extra for greasing

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced

3 tbsp finely chopped savory leaves

grated zest and juice of 1 orange

1 tbsp light soft brown sugar

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

sea salt and freshly ground

black pepper

Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas 3. Quarter the cabbage, remove any damaged outer leaves, cut out the stalk and core, then shred as finely as possible. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add the cabbage and blanch for 2 minutes until just soft, then drain and refresh in cold water.

Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion for 10 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and fry for 2 minutes. Add the apple slices, cook for another 4 minutes, mix in the chopped savory and orange juice and zest, then turn out on a plate.

Mix together the sugar and vinegar with 3 tablespoons of water and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon half the cabbage into a casserole dish, then half the apple mixture and half the sugar and vinegar mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining ingredients, repeating the layers. Cover with thickly buttered parchment paper and put on the lid. Cook for at least 2 hours until tender, checking and stirring from time to time, and adding more water if necessary, until the casserole is rich and thick. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and serve either hot or cold.
