1 tbsp Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil
½ large red cabbage, or 1 small red cabbage, shredded
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 eating apple, chopped into small pieces
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Salt & pepper
½ tbsp plain flour
5 tbsp Mellow Yellow Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
In a large frying pan with a lid, heat 1 tbsp of Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil on a medium heat. Add your onion and fry until softened. Add the red cabbage and apple and continue to fry for a couple of minutes. Add the spices and season generously, stir well. Stir in the flour and pour in your Mellow Yellow Balsamic Vinegar Dressing.
Put the lid on and simmer on a low heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until everything is cooked, stirring occasionally. If it gets too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Check the seasoning and sweetness and add more salt or sugar to taste.
