Red Cabbage with Ginger and Balsamic Vinegar

This is a good do ahead vegetable dish for a buffet table or just a dinner for a crowd. It helps to do a dish the day before and just pop it in the oven the next day!! Leaving it overnight developes the flavours. The balsamic is a nice kick to the dish.
