Roasted Red Cabbage Salad

Tossed in a lemon and fennel dressing, this roasted red cabbage salad brings together some of my favourite seasonal produce: red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, chestnuts, apple and pomegranate. It is best eaten warm.

My mum’s Austrian braised red cabbage with apple recipe inspired me to create this dish. It can be eaten on its own or as a side dish.

Like my mushroom salad, this recipe is perfect at this time of the year and also makes a delicious side to serve with a nut roast or veggie main during the holiday season.

How to make this roasted red cabbage salad

The Brussels sprouts and red cabbage are roasted in the oven on two separate trays. They should take 25 to 30 minutes to cook. Make sure you keep an eye on the vegetables and if one tray is cooked before the other, remove it from the oven and keep warm.

While the vegetables are in the oven you can prepare the rest of the ingredients.

For the dressing, you will need to toast the fennel seeds in a dry pan first, then grind them to a powder in a blender.

The ground fennel seeds give a lovely flavour to this dish so make sure you do not skip them.

The lemon fennel dressing is sweetened with honey or maple syrup, which you can swap for agave syrup.

Once the vegetables are cooked, place them on a serving plate with the chestnuts. Season with salt and pepper. Add the apple cut into thin slices, the pomegranate seeds and the finely chopped parsley leaves.
