Ingredients:
- Splash of olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- Red chilli, diced finely (optional)
- ½ medium cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium apple, skin on, cored and finely diced
- ~500 ml vegetable or chicken stock, salt reduced
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
- ¼ teaspoon fennel seeds
- Cracked pepper to taste
Method:
- HEAT frying pan over low heat then add oil. Add chopped onions, garlic and chilli to pan and fry, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).
- ADD cabbage, apple, cumin, fennel seeds and one cup of stock.
- BRING to the boil, stirring constantly.
- REDUCE heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the cabbage has softened and cooked through. Keep adding the remaining stock as the cabbage cooks. Most of the stock should reduce by the time the cabbage is cooked through.
- SERVE with cracked pepper.
What's Great About It:
This side dish is a great alternative to cauliflower with white sauce! The sweetness from the apple pairs well with the spicy flavours of the chilli, cumin and garlic giving this simple side dish a depth of flavour. Serve with your favourite BBQ meat, roast pork or silverside.
