A recipe from Nigel Slater to serve with bread and cheese, ham or even sushi. It will keep for several weeks in the fridge, unless you are like my husband who could probably demolish this amount within a week or so.
Ingredients
- 480 ml cider vinegar
- 180 ml malt vinegar
- 480 ml water
- 15 black peppercorns
- 12 allspice
- 2 tsp mustard seeds
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sea salt flakes
- 65 g ginger
- 4 small shallots
- 600 g red cabbage
Servings:
Instructions
- Sterilise your storage jars. Bring the kettle to the boil, then pour the water into the storage jars and leave for 2 minutes before emptying.
- Put the cider and malt vinegars, water, peppercorns, allspice, mustard seeds, chilli flakes, sugar and salt into a stainless-steel saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Peel and finely slice the ginger (you should almost be able to see through it), then add it to the pan with the sliced shallots and boil for 2 minutes.
- Shred the red cabbage – I like mine roughly the width of a pencil, but with some sliced more finely – and place it in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
- Pour the hot pickling liquor over the vegetables, then toss everything together. Ladle into the storage jars, seal and allow to cool, then refrigerate.
