Method

Prep 15 min · cook 70 min
  1. Quarter the cabbage, cut out the core and shred it finely. Peel and dice the apples and chop the onion.
  2. Soften the onion in the butter, add the sugar and let it caramelise lightly.
  3. Add the cabbage and the vinegar straight away, so it keeps its colour, then the apples, water, cloves, bay leaves and salt.
  4. Cover and braise gently for 1 hour, stirring now and then and adding water if it dries.
  5. Taste and balance with more vinegar or sugar. It is better made a day ahead and keeps for 5 days.
