I have fond memories of Christmas Eve dinner at my Aunt and Uncles house in Switzerland where everything is very traditional, so the same dishes are served every year. Every year on Christmas Eve my Aunt would make Red Cabbage with Chestnuts. Now that Christmas is coming I'm thinking of that delicious dish, and although we don't have chestnuts here right now in South Africa, I have a lovely recipe that tastes really good and one can even add walnuts or pecans.
INGREDIENTS
½ Red cabbage sliced up finely.
1 Granny Smith Apple peeled, cored and diced.
2 Onions, sliced
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
250 ml White wine
1 Tablespoon juniper berries
1 Teaspoon ground allspice
½ Teaspoon pepper
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
2 Tablespoons honey
a knob of butter and 2 Tablespoons oil
salt
METHOD
Heat up the oil and butter in a pan and fry the onion until soft.
Add the apple and all the other ingredients including the cabbage. Make sure everything is well mixed together.
Set on a low heat with the lid on and cook for about an hour. Salt should be according to your own taste. If you prefer it to be sweeter you can add some more honey, or even some brown sugar.
