Method
To make your braised red cabbage
1
Place all of the ingredients into a large saucepan, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes until the cabbage has softened. Right at the end add in the cold Lurpak® butter and mix until melted. This will give a nice richness and gloss.
