Side Dish

This Braised Red Cabbage is as beautiful as it is delicious! Its rich purple colour, enhanced by the sweetness of apples and the tang of apple cider vinegar, makes it a standout side dish.


Serve it in a simple white bowl to let the vibrant hues shine. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of brightness and pair with roasted meats, hearty grain dishes, or vegan mains for a versatile addition to your table.

Sweet and Tangy Braised Red Cabbage

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head red cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 green apple, cored and sliced (optional, for sweetness)

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (or maple syrup for a natural option)

  • 1/2 cup vegetable stock or water

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves or allspice (optional, for warmth)

  • 1 bay leaf (optional)

Directions

  1. Slice the red cabbage thinly. Remove the core and discard any tough outer leaves.

  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

  3. Stir in the sliced red cabbage and apple (if using), cooking for another 5 minutes until slightly wilted.

  4. Pour in apple cider vinegar and sprinkle with brown sugar. Stir to coat the cabbage evenly.

  5. Add the vegetable stock, salt, pepper, ground cloves (if using), and bay leaf. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors meld together.

  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Matlagingstips

  1. Søthetskontroll: Juster brunt sukker eller lønnesirup etter din smak. Du kan utelate den for en Tanger -versjon.
  2. Legg til dybde: En skvett rødvin eller balsamicoeddik kan forbedre smakene.
  3. Crunch Factor: Topp med ristede nøtter som mandler eller hasselnøtter for ekstra tekstur.
  4. Gjør det raskere: Skjær kålen tynt for å redusere koketiden.
  5. Lagre rester: Oppbevares i en lufttett beholder i kjøleskapet i opptil 4 dager. Varm opp på komfyren eller mikrobølgeovnen.

  • Brukes som en topping til smørbrød eller elendige for en frisk vri.
