Here ’ s a way to fill your vegetables with flavour – perfect for a Christmas side !
Serves : 4 Prep time : 10 minutes Cook time : 30 minutes
Ingredients :
• One small red cabbage , finely chopped
• One red onion , finely chopped
• 200ml water
• Olive oil
• One tablespoon of butter
• The Cherry Tree Apple with Cider and Honey Sauce
• One handful of sultanas
• 800g carrots , or two per person
• 800g parsnips , or two per person
• The Cherry Tree Hot Garlic Pickle
• Salt and black pepper to season and serve
Method :
For the cabbage : 1 . Heat a saucepan and add a glug of olive oil and your butter – using butter makes your cabbage super rich , but adding oil means that it won ’ t burn !
2 . Add your onions and allow them to sweat for a few minutes until translucent .
3 . Add your cabbage and mix well . Cook for a couple of minutes .
4 . Add your water ( you can also use vegetable or chicken stock if you have any lying around ) and cover the cabbage with a lid . Cook your cabbage for 20- 25 minutes , stirring every so often , until the cabbage is cooked through and all the water has evaporated .
5 . Once your cabbage is cooked , season it really well with lots of pepper and some salt . Add your sultanas and a couple of tablespoons of The Cherry Tree Apple with Cider and Honey Sauce . Voilà !
For the carrots and parsnips : 1 . Preheat your oven to 180 ° C
2 . Peel and chop your carrots and parsnips , either into rounds or batons .
3 . Place your chopped vegetables in a roasting tray and drizzle over a generous amount of olive oil – you don ’ t want them to stick .
4 . Add several tablespoons of The Cherry Tree Hot Garlic Pickle so that all of the carrots and parsnips are coated and mix well .
5 . Roast for 30-40 minutes , until they are caramelised , sticky and cooked through .
