- The next day, thinly slice the red onions and apples, sweat down in a knob of butter for a few mins, add sultanas and marinated red cabbage, and sweat for a further 10 mins.
- Add the red wine and turn heat down and place a lid on, cook for 1 hour until all wine and vinegar is reduced and the cabbage is cooked through.
