Hot Vegetarian Vegetables Fruit Nuts Accompaniment
Gluten Wheat Free Eggless
Ingredients
50g/2oz Butter
450g/1lb Red Cabbage, finely shredded
1 Onion, sliced
1 Large Apple, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
Salt
225g/8oz chestnuts
3 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Wine Vinegar
Extra butter
Instructions
1. Melt the butter
in a large saucepan, add the cabbage, onion, apple, with salt, water and
vinegar, mix well then cover tightly and cook over a very low heat for about 1
hour or until the cabbage is tender, stirring from time to time and adding more
water if necessary to prevent it sticking.
2. Meanwhile,
bring a large pan of water to
the boil and using a sharp knife, cut the chestnuts in half.
3.
Add the chestnuts to the pan and cook for about 20 minutes or until
tender.
4. Remove the chestnuts with
a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl of iced water . This helps release the
shell and skin from the nut itself. After a few minutes, remove the shell with a
knife and peel off all traces of the skin.
5. Five minutes
before the end of the cabbage cooking time, add the skinned chestnuts, mix well,
re-cover and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.
6. Drain the cabbage
through a colander, and return to the pan with a generous knob of butter and
plenty of black pepper. Stir lightly to mix and serve very hot.
This is a lovely dish
and would be ideal to serve with the turkey at Christmas.
