A delicious warm, tangy Autumn dish perfect for the festive season. The combination of apple cider vinegar and soy sauce really perks up the flavour of the red cabbage. You can serve this warm or cold either as a side dish or add some protein and it is a healthy meal in itself. You can prepare this a couple of days before you want to eat it too making it perfect for Christmas.
Serves 8 as a side dish

Red cabbage is packed with antioxidants plus vitamin C to help support immune health and protect the body from free radical damage. A great source of vitamin K and B vitamins to keep the body energised.
You can freeze this dish if wished. If freezing I find it better to cook the cabbage but then add the apple, dried fruit and nuts and herbs when you reheat the dish.
