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.

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

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cabbage. Red cabbage is the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use green cabbage or a mix of the two. Savoy cabbage will also work well.
  • Braising is the key to tender cabbage. Braising is a cooking method that involves browning the cabbage in a little bit of fat and then simmering it in a flavorful liquid until it is tender. This process helps to develop the cabbage's natural sweetness and makes it incredibly tender.
  • Add some sweetness to the dish. A little bit of sugar or honey will help to balance out the cabbage's tartness. You can also add some grated apple or pear for a natural sweetness.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage. Overcooked cabbage will be mushy and bland. Cook it just until it is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Serve the cabbage hot or cold. Braised cabbage is delicious served hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it thoroughly before serving.

Conclusion:

Braised red cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and it is also a very budget-friendly meal. With its beautiful color and slightly sweet and tangy flavor, braised red cabbage is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
