Red cabbage is a superfood – full of dietary fibre, vitamins C, K and B6, folate, potassium and manganese. This German-style red cabbage dish can be served as part of a vegetarian dinner; it also makes an especially good side dish with roast poultry or pork.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp (5 mL) caraway seeds
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 red cabbage (3 lb/1.5 kg), thinly sliced
- 1 large apple, quartered, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry red wine
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) liquid honey
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- 1 potato peeled
Preparation
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; fry onion until golden, about 6 minutes. Stir in caraway seeds and cinnamon stick; fry for 30 seconds.
Add cabbage and apple; cook, stirring, until cabbage is slightly wilted. Stir in wine, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup/125 mL water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until cabbage is tender-crisp, about 20 minutes.
Using hand grater, shred potato and stir into cabbage mixture. Cook, covered, until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick before serving.
