Instructions
Quarter the red cabbage and remove the tough white core (see photo). Slice as thinly as you can. Peel the apple and then grate on the coarse side of your grater (discard the core). Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces.
Melt the butter for the red cabbage (see ingredients for amount) in a wide-bottomed saucepan on medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir frequently to make sure it doesn't brown. Add the cabbage, apple, sugar (see ingredients for amount), cinnamon and apple juice (see ingredients for amount). Stir and bring to the boil, then cover with a lid (or foil). Cook on medium-low heat until the cabbage is completely softened, 45 mins.
Stir every now and then to make sure it is not catching. Once softened, remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until the cabbage is glossy, 10-15 mins - this is to evaporate any remaining liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste then set to one side to cool. Cover and pop into the fridge ready to be reheated tomorrow.
In the meantime, pop the cabbage you cooked yesterday into a saucepan, cover with a lid and put on medium heat, until piping hot, 15-18 mins. Stir occasionally. Add a splash of water if it is looking dry.
