Equipment
- Large skillet/frying pan or saucepan with a lid
Ingredients
- ½ (approx. 750g / 1.6lb) Red cabbage Quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin strips
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 small Onion Halved and thinly sliced
- 2 Tart Apples (I used Granny Smith) Cored, quartered and thinly sliced
- 60ml (¼ cup) Balsamic Vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon Ground All Spice
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, and add the oil. Add the onion, cover, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and sticky.
- Add the cabbage, apple, vinegar and allspice, stir and saute for 2-3 mins.
- Cover, reduce the heat to low and allow to cook gently for around 45mins to 1hr (until soft, stick and sweet), checking and stirring occasionally
- Season to taste.
Notes
TOO TART?: The balsamic vinegar adds enough sweetness for our family, if you find it too tart then try adding a little honey, maple syrup, sugar or raisins to add sweetness.
SERVING A BABY? If your baby is doing baby-led weaning or has had experience with finger foods then add a little to their plate to try (before seasoning). If you wish to make it into a puree, replace the vinegar with water or homemade stock, cook until soft and then puree.
