Braised Cabbage

Got this recipe from Martha Stewart…and it’s sooooo good I need to share.  We had this with a nice pork roast the other day.

Braised Red Cabbage

1 head red cabbage, quartered and sliced thin

1 yellow onion, sliced very thin

1 Gala or Braeburn apple, cored, peeled, and sliced thin

2 T. butter or margarine

4 tsp. sugar

3 T. apple cider or wine vinegar

1/2 cup water

salt and pepper

Melt butter in large dutch oven.  Add in onion and apple, saute until soft and translucent.  Add in cabbage and toss.  Mix together sugar, vinegar, and water, pour in.  Salt with about a teaspoon of salt and fresh cracked black pepper.  Cover tightly and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cabbage is soft yet still crunchy.  Toss several times during the cooking.  Taste and season with more salt and pepper as needed.  If you like it a little sweeter, you can also season with a little extra sugar.

    Interesting. I agree apple and cabbage are a natural. I bet that’s lovely.

    It was very very tasty. Is cabbage on your no-no list? It probably is, from what I’ve read of your blog. :(
