Braised Red Cabbage Recipe

German · Side dish · 75 min total

A sweet and tangy German-style side dish, perfect with pork or sausages. This slow-cooked red cabbage gets its deep flavor from apples, vinegar, and spices.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head red cabbage (about 2 lbs), cored and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 whole cloves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add apple and cook for 2 minutes more.
3. Add shredded cabbage, vinegar, brown sugar, broth, bay leaf, and cloves. Stir to combine.
4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is very tender.
5. Remove bay leaf and cloves. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or warm.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, substitute bacon fat for butter.
• Can be made a day ahead; reheat gently before serving.
• Leftovers freeze well for up to 3 months.
