Ingredients

  • 6 rashers unsmoked bacon, diced
  • 200ml red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp light soft brown sugar
  • 1 small red cabbage, shredded
  • handful sultanas
  • 150g Stilton or other hard blue cheese, crumbled

Method

  1. Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy. You shouldn’t need any oil as the fat will run from the bacon.

  2. Heat the vinegar in a large saucepan until just simmering. Tip in the sugar and stir to dissolve, then add the red cabbage. Cook for a further 3 – 5 minutes, tossing the cabbage through the vinegar.

  3. Spoon the cabbage into bowl, stir through the bacon, sultanas and season with black pepper and a little salt. Allow to cool.

  4. Toss in the blue cheese to serve.
