Beekeeper's Cabbage Recipe
- 1 x Red cabbage (1-1/2 to 2 lbs)
- 1 x Onion
- 1 x Parsnip
- 1 lrg Apple
- 1 Tbsp. Honey
- 1/2 ounce Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Fruit vinegar (or possibly more) preferably raspberry Caraway seeds
- 1/4 pt Lowfat yoghurt or possibly lowfat sour cream, opt.
- Cut cabbage into quarters.
- Remove and throw away the tough central stalk.
- Shred the cabbage and put it into a large mixing bowl.
- Peel and finely chop the onion and add in it to the cabbage.
- Cut the parsnip and apple into small pcs, peeling them first if you wish, and add in them to the bowl.
- Drizzle on the honey.
- Add in a good seasoning of salt and pepper and scant 1/2 tsp.
- caraway seeds.
- Sprinkle on the vinegar , use 3 Tbsp.
- if the apple you are using is the dessert variety, just 2 Tbsp.
- if it is a cooking apple.
- Mix everything together well using your hands - a little messy, but spoons are not as effective - then pile the mix into a buttered casserole.
- Lay a sheet of thickly buttered greaseproof paper directly on top of the vegetables and cover the casserole with a well fitting lid to prevent drying out.
- Cook at 300 F (150 C) gas mark 2 for about 2-1/2 hrs till the vegetables are beautifully tender, if possible stir the mix once or possibly twice as it cooks.
- Remove the greaseproof paper and check seasoning immediately before serving.
- Serve the vegetable mix just as it is, or possibly top at the last minute with 1/4 pint cool creamy lowfat yoghurt or possibly soured cream into that you have stirred a few bruised and lightly crushed caraway seeds.
- Or possibly hand round the bowl of flavoured cream separately, so which those who want it can help themselves.
