hi guys ok I’m going to show you how to
make a really simple but really
delicious braised red cabbage it’s an
amazing dish from my new cookbook
Jamie’s Christmas with fennel seeds
Clementine balsamic vinegar smoky bacon
and rosemary people are gonna go crazy
for it on Christmas Day or in actual
fact any time of the year
first up I’ve got a nice whole red
cabbage this is about a kilo in weight
I’ve taken the tatty outside leaves off
smoky bacon here so first job slice it
up and I’m using a kind of casserole
style pan on a medium heat so bacon in
we’re going to fry this off with about a
tablespoon of olive oil there we’re
going to render out the beautiful
natural fat from the bacon beautiful
what I’m going to do is split this red
cabbage very carefully in half roughly
and finely slice the red cabbage the
stalk I’m just going to literally slice
up in any old wave I think this is one
of the cheapest vegetables that you can
buy I think personally that a lot of
people think that red cabbage is like a
frumpy boring veg absolutely no way
delicious now I can hear that the bacon
is changing sound it’s starting to get
golden if you look in there and when
it’s getting lightly golden I’m going to
add two or three big sprigs of rosemary
go in and I want the rosemary to absorb
all of that lovely fat from the bacon
and the rose meat is then going to go
really really crispy so look at this
guys the rosemary goes deep green and
starts to go equally crispy just like
the bacon I’m going to remove the
rosemary and the bacon with a slotted
spoon and I’m going to leave behind the
fat right in here look at that
that’s all smoky bacon fat I’m going to
take a little knob of butter put that in
there we’re going to go in with 2
teaspoons level or fennel seed have a
look at these these are my favorite
spice I use it so often and it’s really
really good so I’m just going to tear in
some prunes a little handful these have
the most incredible dynamic flavor
they will completely
integrate into nothing and then I’m
going to go in with the red cabbage one
or two nice apples roughly chop it this
will give amazing sweetness to this dish
without having to use like loads of
brown sugar and stuff like that look at
the color guys
the amazing purple against the white of
the apples I’ll add a nice little pinch
of salt and pepper and then there’s one
last ingredient I’m going to add about 8
to 10 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
and we’re going to cook it all away so
guys it might seem like a lot of
balsamic vinegar but please just trust
me when that cooks away it’s going to
bring all the flavors together so you
got the sweet and the sour of the
vinegar and the apples and the prunes
you know with all those spices and the
smoking bacon it’s going to be delicious
so lid on medium heat 25 minutes I’ll
stir that every five minutes so see you
in twenty five so this is at 25 minutes
it’s a phenomenal color you might want
to add just a little bit more fresh
butter just to kind of help join all the
flavors and then if you wanted to you
can just use a classic Christmas flavor
like Clementine and that’s the last
thing the last bit of sweetness that
kind of stops the frying look at that
it’s just a beautiful thing of course
cabbage is incredibly good for you but
we’ve made this so desirable so
delicious and then don’t forget the
rosemary and the crispy bacon bits
absolutely gorgeous
that will feed as a side dish
ten people easy-peasy really nice tender
put the crunch from the bacon still
there and the rosemary an absolutely
beautiful red cabbage dish if you want
more red cabbage inspiration hit the I
box up there Erin Kay’s has done a
beautiful cabbage slaw with a bit of a
twist and don’t forget if you have
leftovers of this you can kind of
redress it like a salad and have it with
beautiful leftover things like you know
your hams
you’re mixing your cheese’s and that
kind of like Boxing Day fair so there
you go a red cabbage but not as your
knowing until next time lots of love
