Ingredients
- 1 medium head red cabbage
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 large apple
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the red cabbage. Cut it into quarters, remove the core, and slice the cabbage finely.
Step 2
Peel and slice the red onion thinly.
Step 3
Core the apple and cut it into thin slices or small cubes.
Step 4
In a large pot or deep skillet, combine the sliced cabbage, onion, and apple.
Step 5
Add apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot. Stir the mixture to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, occasionally stirring to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Once simmering, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 50-60 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the braised red cabbage warm. It's a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats or can be served as a vegan main dish.
