    • Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    1 small red cabbage
    25g butter
    1 large onion, finely sliced
    ½ cinnamon stick
    ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
    1 Bramley apple, peeled, cored and grated
    4 tbsp pomegranate molasses or red wine vinegar
    1 tbsp light brown muscovado sugar
    2 tbsp redcurrant jelly
    125g pomegranate seeds
     

    Method

    1. Finely slice the cabbage, discarding the core and any tough pieces. Melt the butter in a pan with a tight-fitting lid over a medium heat. Cook the onion uncovered for 5 minutes until soft, but not browned.

    2. Stir in the spices, then add the cabbage, apple, pomegranate molasses or vinegar and sugar, plus 100ml cold water. Stir until thoroughly mixed and the sugar has dissolved. Season generously.

    3. Bring to the boil, then cover tightly and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the jelly, allow to melt, then scatter with pomegranate seeds to serve.
