Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Cider Vinegar
Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Cider Vinegar makes a delicious plant-based side dish. The cabbage gets incredibly tender while the apples add natural sweetness. This is a recipe you’ll be craving on cold winter nights.
Ingredients
4 cups red cabbage cored and shredded (about ½ head)
1 sweet apple cored and thinly sliced
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water as needed
½ teaspoon allspice*
Instructions
To braise cabbage:
Heat a large pan over high heat. Add your cabbage and apples in a big pile. Cook over the high heat to release the natural sugars. Stir occasionally, to wilt the cabbage. Once the cabbage starts to wilt, after about 10 minutes, add in your vinegar, water, and allspice. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook low and slow until cabbage is completely tender, about 60 minutes. Once cabbage is done, remove the lid. Turn up the heat to cook off some of the water in the pan. Cook 5-8 minutes, until the water reaches a syrupy consistency.
Season with salt, to taste, and serve!
Best enjoyed warm.
*While allspice is a traditional flavor to add to the subtle sweetness of this mix, this is a great dish to experiment with new spices. Fennel seed, caraway, and even coriander are all great spices to play with.
