Method

Put the cabbage, onion, juice and sugar in a pan. Season well and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 45 mins, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Uncover and stir in the jelly. Cook for 10-15 mins until the juice has reduced to a sticky syrup. Toss through the pomegranate seeds and parsley to serve

For za’atar-spiced steaks: Rub each steak with 1 tsp of olive oil and 1-2 tsp of za’atar. Griddle or fry until cooked to your liking.
