Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cabbage

    Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, cut it in half, and then slice it into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cabbage and Apples

    Stir in the sliced red cabbage and apple, mixing well with the onions.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Add Water and Simmer

    Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Check for Tenderness

    After 45 minutes, check the cabbage for tenderness. If it is not tender, continue to cook, checking every 5-10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once tender, remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
