RED CABBAGE WITH BEETROOT

Steps:

• 1 Mix the sugar with 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, layer up a handful of the cabbage, onions, apples and beetroot with the spices and sprinkle with some of the sugar, repeating with the layers until all the ingredients are used up.
• Mix the wine, vinegar and stock cube, pour over the cabbage and dot the butter on top. Tightly cover the pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat. When you can hear it boiling, turn down the heat to low and simmer for 30 mins. Stir well - the mixture will have reduced and softened - then cover and simmer for 15-30 mins more depending on how soft you like it.

BEET AND RED CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Place lentils in a small pot and cover with 2 inches of water; season with about 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook, over medium heat, until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drain lentils, run under cold water, and drain again; set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet, over medium heat, until crispy; drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss together beets, parsley, lentils and 1/3 of the dressing; add cabbage, lettuce, and the remaining dressing.

FESTIVE RED SALAD

Steps:

• Quarter the cabbage, then cut out the white core at the bottom and discard. Finely shred the cabbage and tip into a large mixing bowl with the onions, apples, beetroot and walnuts. Finely grate over the zest from the oranges.
• Cut a little from the top and bottom of each orange, so they sit flat on your work surface. Use a small, serrated knife to cut away the peel and pith in strips down the orange. Holding each orange over a bowl, cut away the segments, letting them and any juice drop into the bowl. Squeeze any juice left in the membranes into the bowl, too. Fish out the segments, roughly chop and add to the salad.
• Whisk the red wine vinegar, redcurrant jelly, honey and oil into the orange juice with some seasoning, then stir into the salad. Will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
• NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.
