Seeing the word 'braised' in a recipe usually implies that something is slow-cooked, but this quick midweek meal is on the table in under an hour – and it doesn't skimp on that rich flavour. Thanks to red wine vinegar and dark maple syrup, the red cabbage cooks down fast, and it'll be glossy and tender in just 15 minutes. Serve this meal with a dollop of piquant English or Dijon mustard to cut through the hearty sausages, earthy apples and rich cabbage.
