Irish Pickled Red Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2.
• Layer the cabbage, onion, sultanas, vinegar, sugar, apples, butter and mixed spice into a baking dish and season with the salt and some black pepper. Add the orange rind and juice.
• Cover the dish with kitchen foil and bake for 2 1/2 hours, removing the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Tip the cabbage and red onion into a bowl and season with 2 tsp sea salt, then toss together. Set aside for to cure for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, pour 200ml water into a saucepan and add the chilli, juniper, allspice, vinegar and sugar, then bring to the boil. Tip the cured cabbage into a colander and rinse once under cold water to remove any excess salt. Pack into a large, clean container and pour over the warmed spiced pickling liquid. Put on the lid and leave in the fridge until needed. Can be made up to a week ahead.
• When you are ready to serve, drain the pickling liquid from the cabbage and discard the dried chilli. Bring up to room temperature, then stir through the nuts, dill and sliced apple. Spoon the salad into a large salad bowl to serve.

Steps:

• Place cabbage into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix to distribute. Let stand for 20 minutes, mixing with your hands every few minutes.
• Pour out excess salt water from the cabbage. Add vinegar and sugar; mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• Place cabbage into a large pot. Add water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain and set aside. Drain cabbage, and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with bacon and nutmeg. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Place under your oven's broiler until the top layer is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Serve with salt, pepper and vinegar as desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place cabbage, garlic and peppercorns. In a saucepan, bring water, vinegar, salt and sugar to a simmer until sugar and salt dissolves. Pour over cabbage; cover. Let stand 2 hours. Transfer to jars, if desired; seal tightly. Refrigerate 48 hours before serving and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage in a colander over the sink and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 2-3 hours, then drain and wash away the salt. Pay dry with a clean tea towel.
• Put the vinegar, wine, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaves into a big, wide saucepan and simmer until the liquid has reduced by about half. Set aside for 10 mins to infuse.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a jug or bowl, and discard the peppercorns and bay leaves. Put the cabbage and mustard seeds into a big bowl, and then pour the strained liquid over. Transfer the cabbage and pickling liquid into sterilised jars and seal. Will last for a month in the fridge.

Steps:

• Finely slice red cabbage, preferably with a mandoline. Place cabbage in a bowl, and add salt and vinegar. Using your hands to mix thoroughly, squeeze cabbage until it begins to wilt and get juicy. Let stand for 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add a little extra salt and vinegar if you are planning on serving the cabbage the following day, since the flavor fades as it marinates.

Steps:

• Put the cabbage in a large heatproof bowl. Put the onion in a saucepan with the vinegar, sugar and juniper berries. Heat until the mixture is boiling and the onion is starting to soften, around 10 mins. Add the mixture to the cabbage, stir well and leave to cool completely. Chill until needed.

Steps:

• Grate or shred cabbage into very thin slivers.
• Place cabbage in a porcelain bowl.
• Add 1/2 cup of olive oil.
• Add 1/4 cup of Apple cider vinegar (I like the organic one).
• Add 2 to 3 tablespoon of raw honey.
• Toss and mix everything together and add salt & pepper to taste.
• Store in glass jar(s). Keeps fresh for a long time.
• The ratio can be adjusted to your taste. If you like it more tart, add more vinegar and so on.
