SAUTéED CABBAGE



Sautéed Cabbage image

Sautéed cabbage is an easy, DELICIOUS vegetable side that's healthy and goes with so many dishes! Vinegar is the secret ingredient to making it taste great.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (plus additional to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
  • Heat a large saute pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits (aka FLAVOR).
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper if you like, or a splash more vinegar if you'd like to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

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.
