Ingredients
- 1 medium head (approximately 2 pounds) Red cabbage
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, peeled, cored, and finely diced Apple
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Remove any tough outer leaves from the red cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and slightly translucent.
Step 3
Add the apple pieces and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir to combine with the onions and apples.
Step 5
Pour in the water, apple cider vinegar, and stir in the brown sugar, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – you can add a bit more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for extra tanginess.
Step 8
Once the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the sweet and tangy flavors, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish to roasts, sausages, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
