Citrus spiced Christmas red cabbage

Linda · January 17, 2017 ·

red cabbage
Red cabbage is in season throughout the winter months and makes a great side dish for the traditional turkey and ham dinner on Christmas day.   It tastes just as good cold with leftovers, cold meats and salads and lasts for ages in the fridge.
I prefer this to brussels sprouts but at the same time feel like I’m honouring the Christmas sprout tradition in some way with this traditional winter brassica.  It’s magnificent jewel colour also adds bonus brightness to both the plate and table.
A red cabbage is big, so I cook it all and freeze half of it straight away unless there’s a very big crowd coming for Christmas dinner.

We’re a six person household zeroing in on our choices to try and live more sustainably.  We’ve started with efforts to minimise our waste.

As we reduce plastic and packaging in the weekly shop, we make a lot more food, like yoghurt, from scratch, and so every little bit gets used up.

Along the way, a lot of new food habits and recipes are tried and tested, the ones that stick are shared here.

Meet the family, read the why.
