RED CABBAGE RAGù
What ingredient is the base for many hearty meals, turns crusty-browned when seared, tender when slow-cooked and makes for a good ragù? Ground meat and pork shoulder, yes, but also cabbage. Its hidden sweetness shines when seared in plenty of oil and braised until glazed and soft. In this vegan pasta sauce, cabbage slumps as its juices release and mingle with red wine and caramelized tomato paste. To ensure the flavors aren't too diluted, use just a small amount of water and trust that the cabbage will release moisture as it cooks. Use this warming braise to sauce fat noodles, or eat it with polenta, mashed potatoes, beans, sausage or a fried egg. The cabbage can be cooked up to three days ahead.

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.
THE BEST RED CABBAGE RAGU
Red cabbage is one of those vegetables that most people seem to only enjoy at Christmas or with a roast. But red cabbage is so much more. It's meaty, rich and so versatile. In this recipe it forms a great backing for this rich and decadent ragu sauce.

Steps:
- Slice the cabbage into thin 1/2 cm ribbons. Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large deep frying pan or saucepan over a medium heat.
- Toss in the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is see-through. Add the spices (cinnamon, oregano, paprika) and flour to the pan and stir to evenly combine with the onion.

- Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock and bring the pan to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is soft and the sauce is nice and thick.

BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES
This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

Steps:
- Prepare the cabbage, and cover with cold water while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about three minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture is golden, about three minutes, then add the apples and stir for two to three minutes.
- Drain the cabbage and add to the pot. Toss to coat thoroughly, then stir in the allspice, another 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss together. Cover the pot, and cook over low heat for one hour, stirring from time to time. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt, and add another tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar as desired.
