Step 1

Roughly dice the chorizo and place into a large casserole pan on a medium heat. Cook for a few minutes, or until the chorizo has released its oils, then add the fennel seeds. Peel and finely slice the red onion, add to the pan and cook for a few minutes, or until softened and smelling amazing.

Step 3

Click away any tatty outer leaves from the red cabbage, trim the base, then cut into wedges and roughly slice. Add to the pan with a swig of red wine vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook with the lid ajar on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tinned pears, with some of the juice, and continue cooking for a further 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
