RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large lidded saucepan. When hot, add the onion and fry gently until softened. Stir in the spices. Add the cabbage and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glossy.
• Stir in the sugar, apples and red wine vinegar. Cover with a lid and let it cook gently for 30 minutes.
• Stir in the redcurrant or cranberry sauce (if using) and cook for a further 10 minutes. If you aren't using the sauce, taste the cabbage and add a little more sugar if it's too tart for your taste.

RED CABBAGE-ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch asparagus until just tender, drain, and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. When the asparagus is cold, drain and slice on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces.
• In a small bowl, stir together tahini, water, lemon juice, and garlic. Stir in sugar to taste.
• Toss together asparagus, red cabbage, radishes, green onions, feta, pine nuts, and dill in a large bowl. Pour in tahini dressing and mix to combine.

SAUTEED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 2 minutes. Add cabbage and turn in pan, sauteing it until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan and turn the cabbage in it. Sprinkle sugar over the cabbage and turn again. Season with mustard seed, salt and pepper and reduce heat a bit. Let cabbage continue to cook 10 minutes or until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

ASPARAGUS AND MASCARPONE CAPPELLACCI IN RED CABBAGE BROTH

Steps:

• Mix the flours together, setting half aside and forming a well out of the remainder. Drop the spinach, half a teaspoon of olive oil, and half of the egg into the centre of the well, and bring together into a ball. For a more vibrant and consistent colour, blitz in a food processor for one minute.
• Knead vigorously for 10 minutes, then cover in cling wrap and set aside to rest for 30 minutes, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• Similarly, prepare a well with the remaining flour, mixing in the other half a teaspoon of oil, the remaining egg, and two tablespoons of water into the centre. Knead for 10 minutes, and then cover and rest for 30 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, sauté the red cabbage, onion, garlic, and peppercorns in one tablespoon of olive oil, over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Once the onion begins to soften and turn translucent, add in the stock, parsley, bay leaves, and salt, and simmer at low-medium heat for a further 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain out the broth. We like to retain the cabbage and serve it as a side, tossed with some blanched greens, olive oil, crumbled feta, and lemon juice.
• Next, prepare the filling by blanching the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Set aside the tips, and then blend the stalks with the mascarpone, breadcrumbs, and salt. Note that you can retain the asparagus cooking water to later cook the pasta in. Transfer the blended filling to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip.
• Once the dough has rested, and working with one ball at a time, roll it through the pasta machine at the thickest setting a few times, folding each sheet over itself in between passes. Then gradually step them through to a medium-thin thickness (5 on our 9-thickness machine).
• To laminate, lay one sheet out flat on a lightly floured surface, spritz the exposed side lightly with water, and then lay the second sheet on top, smoothing out any air bubbles with your hand as you go. Roll back through the machine at a thicker setting (3 on our machine).
• Spritz the surface of the laminated sheet with water, and then carefully roll up into a tight log, short-end to short-end. Use a sharp knife to cut across the pasta, forming spiralled discs of around 3-4mm thickness. For this original recipe of 300g flour, form approximately 28 discs.
• Drop the cappellacci into lightly salted boiling water, and cook until al dente (firm, but no white showing when you cut across the dough). This could take more than 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the pasta. Drain, and serve in the broth with the asparagus tips, crumbled feta, zucchini ribbons, pistachios, and micro-herbs.

Saute the onion and apples for 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the chopped dill, bay leaves, cabbage, and broth. Cook for 5 minutes until it begins to wilt. Stir in the vinegar to preserve the red color. Add sugar, salt, and pepper and cook for 20 minutes until the cabbage is soft, stirring occasionally. Garnish with fresh dill before serving.

RED CABBAGE RAGù

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, add the cabbage wedges cut side down in a single layer, season with salt and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining cabbage, adding more oil as needed.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the onion to the empty pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Coarsely chop the cooked cabbage, including the core.
• Reserve 1 teaspoon of the garlic, and add the remaining garlic and the tomato paste to the onions. Cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste is a shade darker, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, scraping up browned bits, until nearly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the chopped cabbage, 1/4 cup parsley and the sugar, and stir to coat in the tomato paste. Season with salt. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft and shiny, 15 to 20 minutes. (If the cabbage is sticking to the pot, add 1 tablespoon water and reduce the heat.)
• In a small bowl, stir the reserved 1 teaspoon garlic into the remaining 1/2 cup parsley. Add the red-pepper flakes, if using.
• When the cabbage is just about done, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta. (If the cabbage is ready before the pasta, keep covered off the heat.) Add the pasta and 1 cup pasta water to the cabbage. Stir over medium-low until the pasta is glossed with sauce. Add more pasta water as needed to thin the sauce. Divide among bowls and top with parsley-garlic mixture.
