Red Cabbage, Apples, Bacon by Jamie Oliver

April 4, 2018 By Sheila May

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Red Cabbage from Jaime OliverMy husband adores the recipes of Jamie Oliver.  Personally, I find that he is a bit footloose with the measurements, but his insistence on using fresh seasonal products makes all of the difference in his cooking.

I particularly like his “heavy” vegetable recipes.  Let’s face it, who can argue with red cabbage with apple and bacon.  Add Gourmet Living’s delicious balsamic vinegar and you have a recipe fit for a king.  This is a great seasonal recipe, best enjoyed during the winter or an early (cold) spring day.

While I had planned to use this recipe to accompany his slow-roasted pork, I couldn’t resist and we ate this delicious recipe as a stand-alone main dish.  Neither my husband or I were disappointed at Jamie’s inspired contribution to tasty cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 red cabbage
  • 2 eating apples
  • 2 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon
  • ½ a bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
  • 150 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 1 small knob of unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the onion. Click off and discard any tatty outer leaves from the cabbage, then remove the core and chop into irregular chunks.
  • Peel the apples, then chop into 2.5cm pieces, and pick and finely chop the parsley leaves. Finely slice the bacon.
  • Drizzle a good lug of oil into a pan over a medium heat, add the bacon, then bash and add the fennel seeds and cook until golden.
  • Add the onion, cover, and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden and sticky.
  • Scatter in the apple and cabbage, season with sea salt, black pepper and the vinegar, then stir well.
  • Pop the lid back on, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 1 hour, or until gorgeously sticky and sweet, stirring occasionally.
  • Scoop into a serving dish, pop the butter on top and sprinkle over the parsley, then serve.
