Warm salad of red cabbage, black pudding & apple

1 tsp sunflower oil
200g or 8 rashers smoked bacon
cut into pieces
600g red cabbage
shredded
butter
for frying
4 large rounds of black pudding
2 British eating apples
peeled, cored and cut into wedges
pinch caster sugar
small handful hazelnuts

For the dressing

1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar

Method

step 1
Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl, then set aside. Heat the oil a large frying pan and cook the bacon for 6-7 mins until crisp. Then add the cabbage to the pan and stir-fry in the bacon fat for 5 mins until the cabbage has just wilted. Tip into a bowl and toss with most of the dressing.
step 2
Heat a knob of butter in the same frying pan and cook the black pudding for 3 mins on each side, then set aside and keep warm. Turn up the heat and fry the apples in a knob of butter and a pinch of sugar until caramelised around the edges. Spoon some cabbage in the middle of each plate and surround with apple wedges. Top with black pudding and scatter with hazelnuts.
