Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the vegetables

    Remove any wilted outer leaves from the red cabbage, then cut it into quarters and remove the core. Slice the cabbage thinly. Peel and slice the onion. Core and chop the apple into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the onion

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it becomes translucent.

  2. 3

    Add cabbage and apple

    Add the sliced red cabbage and chopped apple to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onion.

  3. 4

    Add liquids and seasonings

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

  4. 5

    Braised cooking

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the flavors.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the braised cabbage

    Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
