Ingredients

6 servings

1red cabbage

medium, finely sliced

2tart apples

such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and sliced

1onion

medium, thinly sliced

2 Tbspbutter

or olive oil

3 Tbspbrown sugar

⅓ cupapple cider vinegar

250mlvegetable stock

Instructions

Step 1

Prep the Veg: Rinse the cabbage, remove the core and slice it finely. Core then cut apple into slices. Peel & dice onion.

Step 2

Cook the Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they’re soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the Cabbage and Apples: Add the sliced cabbage and apples to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions.

Step 4

Season: Sprinkle the brown sugar over the cabbage mixture and pour in the apple cider vinegar and stock. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 5

Braise: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for about 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally. Or, put a lid on the pot and pop into a 180C oven for an even braise. The cabbage should become tender and absorb the flavors of the apple, vinegar, and stock.

Step 6

Season and Serve: Once the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded, season with salt and pepper to taste.
