Vinegar

The colour of the cabbage enhances any main course but it goes particularly well with roasts and can be cooked, at the same time, in a casserole on the bottom shelf. It is very temperature tolerant and can even be gently simmered on top of the stove, providing you are there to stir it occasionally.

As red cabbages can be large you may have more than you need; any leftover freezes well and can easily be reheated in a microwave.
