Red cabbage

Bought a red cabbage just for a change and like the idea of pickling it, but I have no idea where to start for a recipe. Would like to use it as a side dish either for dinner or with a BBQ. All and any recipes welcome, thanks

i use it for coleslaw, but as its very tough i finely slice then heavily salt it, leave for 1/2 to an hour and then rinse well and drain, this breaks it down a bit and makes it much easier to eat.

seller4, this is how we enjoy having red cabbage.....
