Syrupy, sweet and a little bit sour, pomegranate molasses adds a Middle-Eastern edge to this red cabbage recipe, which makes a perfect side dish for a roast dinner. The braised cabbage keeps its deep purple colour and a little bit of bite, but becomes soft and glossy while taking on the subtle spiced flavours of the cinnamon and star anise. Time and servings
