Pork Cabbage Cider Hot Pot
This hearty yet mellow hot pot is the perfect dish to slow cook on a winter afternoon, in the warmth of your kitchen whilst listening to the radio. Given it's lean meat and vegetable base, it is low in fat, but the addition of cider gives it a naughty, tasty feel. For extra decadence, finish off the rest of the cider whilst you tuck in.
