Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 medium Granny Smith or other tart, firm apples, 1 pound total, peeled, cored, and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges
1 small (1 1/2 pounds) red cabbage, cored and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges through the core
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot or Dutch-oven (at least 11 inches in diameter) over medium-high heat. Add sugar and salt, and stir to dissolve. Add apples and onion, in as close to a single layer as possible. Turn to coat in butter mixture. Let cook, shaking pan occasionally and turning over once, until sugar is beginning to caramelize and coat the apples and onions, about 10 minutes.
  • Add cabbage, vinegar, and water. Bring to just a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until cabbage is tender and liquid is reduced to a syrup, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary, remove lid in the last 5 minutes and cook, uncovered, to reduce liquid to desired consistency; most of the apples will disintegrate.
  • Transfer cabbage and apples to a bowl and serve immediately.

BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

Categories     easy, one pot, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large red cabbage, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tart apples, such as Braeburn or granny smith, peeled, cored and sliced
About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the cabbage, and cover with cold water while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about three minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture is golden, about three minutes, then add the apples and stir for two to three minutes.
  • Drain the cabbage and add to the pot. Toss to coat thoroughly, then stir in the allspice, another 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss together. Cover the pot, and cook over low heat for one hour, stirring from time to time. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt, and add another tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar as desired.
