hi i have bought a large of red sliced pickled cabbage, not noticing it was pickled,
i have used cooking as veg to put into a curry,
now i make very hot curries and chill co carne and it has over powered all,
i had strained the cabbage but no success still over powered everything,
its a very large jar and don't want to waste it, but i stumped of what to do with it,
so i am hoping you can help by explaining the best way to cook it as a vegatable to go with a roast dinner etc,
thankyou if you can and thankyou if can't.

The above minus the vinegar is one option. It's getting rid of the prevalent vinegar taste that you're after. There's no easy way for you to cook it as a veg for with a roast dinner. Put it into a strainer and run cold water over it to remove more of the vinegar and then freeze in smaller, manageable amounts.

Throw it away and start again. This time buy a fresh red cabbage like the recipe states
