Lovely addition to any meal.

Heat the oven to 150C (130C fan)/300F/gas 2.

Cut the cabbage into quarters, discard the outer leaves, cut away the hard central core and shred each quarter finely.

In a large pan, gently melt the butter and oil over a moderate flame, add the sliced onion and fry until soft and translucent.

Add the sugar and cabbage to the pan and stir well to coat. Quarter the apple, core but do not peel, chop it into little chunks, add to the pan, and stir again.

Add the vinegar, salt and black pepper, stir and cover. Cook over a medium flame for 15 minutes. Add the water and red wine, put the pan in the oven and roast for two hours.
