Red cabbage

510089

Red cabbage is an iconic storage vegetable, selected by Le Delas for its remarkable density and intense purple colour. Its smooth, tightly packed leaves offer a crunchy texture and a slightly peppery flavour that mellows when cooked. A valuable ally for adding visual interest to dishes, it is highly prized by professionals for its long shelf life and excellent yield in preparation. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Cold dishes and raw vegetables: Finely shredded, it provides a colourful base for salads and coleslaw. Its vibrant colour adds a splash of colour to buffets and cold starters. ► Traditional cooking: It lends itself beautifully to slow cooking, particularly braised with apples, onions and a touch of vinegar or red wine to preserve its vibrant colour. ► Preparation: To retain its purple colour and prevent it from turning blue during cooking, it is advisable to add an acidic ingredient (lemon juice, vinegar or tart apples) to the cooking pan. ► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room. Like all cabbages, it keeps well for a long time. Once cut, it is best to cover the cut surface with cling film to keep the leaves moist. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
