Braised Red Cabbage with Apples

Ingredients

• 1 medium red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and apples, cooking for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage begins to soften.

Pour in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and broth. Stir in the cinnamon and cloves (if using), then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavours are well combined.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a bit more vinegar if you prefer a tangier flavour.
