Instructions

Instructions: Red cabbage braised with red wine

For this side dish I used star anise that gives this vegetable side a delicious but very particular aftertaste. For those who are not fond of this flavour I advise to replace it with some cloves or a bay leaf as these also blend perfectly with braised red cabbage.
Remove the outer leaves, cut into 4 wedges and remove the central core parts. Cut into thin strips and place in a large pot. Boil some water, cover the cabbage entirely letting it soak for 5 minutes. Drain well and put back into a pot.
Add butter, vegetable stock, red wine, a generous pinch of salt and pepper, half star anise and 2 peeled and grated apples. Cover the pan with a lid, turn on the flame and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook over medium – low heat for about 40 – 60 minutes or until the red cabbage becomes soft and tender. While cooking, stir occasionally, taste often and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary.
Once the side dish is ready, turn off the heat, add lemon juice, stir and serve.
