Spicy red cabbage.

As well as adding a gorgeous splash of colour to the plate, this dish has a
deliciously tangy bite. Try it with sausages or pork chops and mashed potatoes

Ingredients
1 red onion, thinly sliced
500g red cabbage, shredded
1 large cooking apple, peeled, cored and diced
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
60g butter or margarine
3 tbsp light sugar
2 tbsp cumin seeds, lightly crushed
60g sultanas
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method of preparation

Step 1 put the onion, cabbage, apple and vinegar in a bowl and toss together. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Step 2 melt the butter or margarine in a large pan, add the cabbage mixture and stir-fry gently for 5 minutes until just softened. Stir in the sugar and cumin seeded. Cover and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3 stir in the sultanas and seasoning. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 4 dish out all in a stylish plate and serve it.
