The method
1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the cabbage into quarters, remove the core and thinly slice. Thinly slice your onion. Then zest and juice the orange. Roughly chop your prunes.
2
Pre-heat your oven to 160°C. Melt the butter in a large pan until golden brown. Add the onion and fry for 15 minutes over a low heat until soft.
3
Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and cover with a tight fitting lid. Place into the oven for 1 hour, then stir and re-cover. Place back into the oven for another hour until the cabbage is soft.
4
If the cabbage is looking dry, add in more water and if there is too much liquid, turn up the heat and allow to evaporate. Season to your liking and enjoy!
