Spiced Red Cabbage with Horseradish Cream

I made this recipe last night, fully intending to have loads left over to use the next day, but it was so delicious that hubby and I scoffed the lot!  It is definitely a recipe to be added to the Christmas meal this year, just the right amount of sweet and sour and low in calories.

Spiced Red Cabbage

Serves 4 as sides

1 red cabbage, core removed and shredded

2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced thinly

2 red onions, sliced thinly

1/4 tsp ground cloves or all spice

Horseradish Cream

2 tbls half fat creme fraich

2 tsp horseradish sauce

Pre heat oven to 150oc

Prepare the cabbage and rinse in a colander, the small amount of water clinging to the cabbage with help the cooking. Turn out into a lidded ovenproof dish.  Mix in the onion, apple, sugar, vinegar and spices. Cover and place in the oven for 2:30 mins.  Checking every half hour to stir and make sure that it has not dried out, add a little water if necessary.
