PRESSURE COOKING KEEPS THE BRIGHT COLOUR OF THE RED CABBAGE

Red cabbage very much retains its colour when pressure cooked.

It’s very much red.

And by that I mean not grey like that one time I boiled it on the hob and the colour went down the drain along with the cooking water.

It was the first time I cooked red cabbage and it was the nineties 🤣

NO NEED TO CRUSH THE JUNIPER BERRIES

I like the juniper berries for the aromatics.

Some people crush juniper berries before adding to dishes but I prefer to leave them whole as I don’t like biting into fragments.

Discard the juniper berries when serving or when eating.

YOU CAN FREEZE BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Cook it ahead and freeze it.

This is super handy if you are pressure cooking it for your Christmas Dinner.

Just remember to take it out the day before or use my trick to reheat from frozen in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot but for only about 5 minutes.
