GRILLED APPLE AND CABBAGE SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Place the shredded cabbage in a large, heat-proof mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt, then pour the mixture over the cabbage. Set a plate on top of the cabbage to weight it down. Refrigerate and leave to pickle for 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high. Quarter the apples and cut out the cores. Toss the apples in a bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the apples for 1 minute on each side to achieve nice grill marks. Set the apples aside to cool, then cut them into dice.
• When the cabbage is ready, drain it well and return it to the bowl. Fold in the grilled apples and serve.
