Braised Red Cabbage
Braised red cabbage is one of my favourite side dishes to go with a roast. Cabbage is always a winner for me and this one is no exception. The secret here is to braise the cabbage for a long time on a low heat which gives it a melt in the mouth texture. The braising is done with cider and Apple cyder vinegar which gives it an amazing subtle sweetness that is hard to beat.
