Ingredients

• 1 small head (approximately 1.5 lbs) red cabbage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely sliced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 0.33 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it in half. Slice the cabbage thinly into shreds and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the finely sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the shredded red cabbage to the skillet and stir to coat it in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften.

Step 6

Sprinkle the raisins over the cabbage, and add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in the water and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cabbage cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt or vinegar for brightness.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
