BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH BEET
I love braised red cabbage and luckily there are lots of recipes for braised red cabbage dishes. However there's always room for one more recipe and the addition of beet (beetroot) makes for an unusual and tasty variation. Traditionally we always have a braised red cabbage side dish for Christmas lunch, last year I served this for a change (but omitted the cloves). The recipe comes from "Leith's Vegetarian Bible".

Steps:
- Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
- Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
- NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

Steps:
- Wash the cabbage really well in cold running water, remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. Wash and peel the beets, ginger and garlic. No need to peel the apple.
- For this I'm using a mandoline to julienne the beets and apples, and thinly shred the cabbage. Or julienne with a chef's knife. All separate. The ginger and garlic will be thinly grated also, the smaller the better.
- Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large bowl with plenty of space for you to get your hands in and mix it around. Leave your beets and apples to the side for now. Add salt. You'll want to use a really nice, coarse, unprocessed good quality salt, like this Celtic Sea Salt.
- Massage the cabbage with your hands until it breaks down and becomes soft (about 3 min) and then let it sit for 10 minutes or so until the mixture has wilted a bit and released more salty juice (water). Add the julienned beets, give it another 2 minute massage then mix in the apples, ginger and garlic until it is combined evenly.
- Pack the mixture and juice into clean mason jars. Firmly pack down until the liquid comes up. Liquid should lightly cover the mixture. And leave at least 1-2 inches space at the top for expansion.
- If there is not enough liquid to cover the cabbage, mix 1 tsp salt with 1-1.5 cups of water, and add until the water level is enough to cover the mixture. Use 1 or 2 cabbage leaves over the top to keep it from floating up. Place a clean glass weight over the leaves and press down so everything is submerged under the liquid.
- Cover loosely with a lid and place on a plate to catch any overflowing liquid. Place on your kitchen counter in a shaded place for 3-5 days. The number of days for fermenting will depend on the room temperature.The next day tiny bubbles should rise to the top, indicating it started to ferment. If scum appears, remove it with a spoon.
- After 5 days place it in the fridge to slow down the fermentation process. The longer it ferments, the better it will taste! In about 10 days you can start eating.
