Red Drumhead

Red Drumhead cabbage

Dense, deep purple, and far less bothered by caterpillars than green varieties — something about the colour puts them off. Stores well, pickles brilliantly, and adds drama to every plate it touches.

Braised red cabbage with apple

Shred finely, slow-cook with sliced apple, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and a star anise until soft and jammy. The Christmas dinner side that steals the show from the turkey.
