1.5kg/3lb 6oz red cabbage

2 red onions

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp ground cinnamon

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

juice of 1 lemon

3 tbsp artificial sweetener

Method:-

Halve the cabbage, take out the core and then very finely slice into thin shreds. Peel the onions and cut into thin slices.

Spray a large non stick frying pan with fry light and place over a high heat.

Add the cabbage and onion and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the cabbage has softened slightly. Season well and add the cinnamon, red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

Continue to stir and cook over a high heat for another 5-6 minutes or until the cabbage is just tender but still has a 'bite' to it. Stir in the sweetener and toss to mix well.

Remove from the heat and serves, garnished with chopped parsley.
