1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until softened.

2. Stir in the chopped ginger, ground allspice and mustard seed and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add the shredded red cabbage and toss to coat it in the spices. Cook for 3 minutes until it begins to wilt.

4. Stir in the sugar and red wine vinegar, then cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the cabbage is tender.

5. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium and cook for 6 minutes, stirring, until the liquid reduces to a glossy, sticky glaze. Serve warm.
