Description
Eight side portions of tender sweet-sour red cabbage and apple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Red cabbage, cored and thinly shredded
- 2 medium apples Firm apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 medium onion Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/8 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon Fine salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Core and thinly shred 2 lb red cabbage; peel, core and slice two firm apples, then slice one onion. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy pot and soften onion about five minutes.
- Add cabbage and apples and stir to coat. Pour in 1/4 cup cider vinegar and 1/2 cup vegetable broth, then add 2 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1/8 tsp ground cloves, 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
- Cover and braise over low heat about 45–50 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking that a little liquid remains, until cabbage is tender. If the pot dries before tender, measure any water added in the trial.
- Remove lid and simmer up to ten minutes to reduce any excess liquid, tasting for sweet-sour balance. Divide into eight provisional side portions; record finished volume, apple texture and reduction.
