Braised red cabbage recipe - this goes particularly well with goose, duck or ham but it’s a great side dish with turkey too. And you can make it up to 5 days ahead and keep in the fridge. I know there are only two days to go 😬

A couple of people asked for my recipe when I posted it on stories so here it is…

Shout out to the Queen for the idea to add cranberries 🙏 ❤️

1 small red cabbage - core removed and finely sliced
2 apples, grated with skin on
200g fresh cranberries
1 large onion (red or white), halved and finely sliced
50g soft brown sugar
One teaspoon of salt
1 cinnamon stick
6 cardamom pods, cracked open
500ml water

Put everything in a large, heavy-based saucepan (with a lid) pan and give it a stir.
Put on the hob uncovered over a medium/high heat and bring to a simmer. Allow to bubble away for a few minutes.
Then put on the lid and lower the heat. Cook for about 90 minutes until soft, glossy and completely melded together. Check frequently while cooking and add a little more water if it’s getting dry.

Fish out the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods (if you can find them). Taste and add more salt if needed. You can also add a splash of cider or wine vinegar if you want it sharper, but I think the cranberries make it sharp enough. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for much longer. This gets better as it sits.

Reheat in the microwave or over a gentle heat on the hob until piping hot. Serve with Christmas dinner or in a cheese toastie or with sausages and mash.

Merry Shrove Tuesday 🥞 This week two separate people have told me that pancake day is the BEST day of the year 😋. So better make the most of it. I’m planning these fluffy pancakes for breakfast tomorrow and then crepes for dinner. Here’s my recipe for fluffy buttermilk pancakes - it is worth whisking the egg whites separately Dry ingredients: 250g self-raising flour 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) 2 tablespoon caster sugar Pinch of salt 2 tablespoon chia seeds (optional) Wet ingredients: 200ml buttermilk (add a splash more if necessary) 2 eggs, separated into yolk and whites 2 tablespoons butter, melted Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk with to mix the ingredients evenly. Mix together the egg yolks and buttermilk. Separately whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Combine the buttermilk mixture with the dry ingredients and stir until you have a thick smooth batter. Gently fold in the egg whites and then the melted butter. Add a splash more buttermilk if the mixture is too thick. Heat a frying pan or a griddle pan over a medium heat with the tiniest drop of oil. When hot dollop the mixture (I do a couple of tablespoons per pancake) into the pan and fry for a couple of minutes until bubbles form on top of the batter. And then flip and cook for a minute or two more until golden. Keep warm under a clean tea towel in a low oven. Keep cooking until you used all the batter. This will make about 10 pancakes 🥞 #pancakes #pancakeday #shrovetuesday #pancakedinner #buttermilkpancakes #scotchpancakes
