BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH BEET



Braised Red Cabbage With Beet image

I love braised red cabbage and luckily there are lots of recipes for braised red cabbage dishes. However there's always room for one more recipe and the addition of beet (beetroot) makes for an unusual and tasty variation. Traditionally we always have a braised red cabbage side dish for Christmas lunch, last year I served this for a change (but omitted the cloves). The recipe comes from "Leith's Vegetarian Bible".

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces red cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, finely diced
8 ounces raw beets, peeled and diced
2 teaspoons soft light brown sugar
1 pinch ground cloves, to taste
1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
1/2 orange, juice of
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
  • Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
  • NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

Tips:

  • Trim the beets: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the beets, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler.
  • Slice the beets: Cut the beets into 1-inch thick slices or wedges.
  • Roast the beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the beets for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make the braising liquid: In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the red cabbage, vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the beets: Add the roasted beets to the pot with the red cabbage. Bring the mixture back to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
  • Serve: Serve the braised beets and red cabbage immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
