Suggestions please!! I have a red cabbage in the fridge, needs using up. Can I make braised cabbage without apple or sultanas? I like the texture but not the sweetness. What would I need to use instead?

    Onions. Red wine vinegar. Star anise. Cinnamon.

    Caraway seed is really nice with cabbage, too.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Yes, just use the braising process, and add what you want. I often use a little vinegar and a little sugar to get a 'sweet & sour' taste. Once cooked, it freezes very well.
    I also make a colourful 'cole slaw type' of salad using red cabbage.

    I do this with sliced radishes, diced beetroot and sliced red onions with the red cabbage.
    I also add creme fraiche.
    It looks great on a buffet table.

    I would stir toasted pine nuts and grated beetroot through. Toast the nuts in a dry pan. Don't leave them. They will lift the dish.
