Braised Red Cabbage

The tastiest, prettiest red cabbage there is! Red cabbage is even more nutritious than green. Braised red cabbage is pretty enough for a holiday table, with its gorgeous color and tangy aroma. It's wonderful as a warm side dish and just as good served cold, like a salad.

  • Red cabbage has a denser, firmer texture than green cabbage, but its flavor is every bit as good — and it's often underused. Today we're braising it. To bring out its flavor and add a little zip, we'll cook it with apple, onion, and spices. Peel a medium onion and slice it into thin half-moons. Use a small, sweet-tart apple: core it and cut it into thin wedges (no need to peel it). For braising, you'll want a heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid, or a Dutch oven; for the amounts here, a 9-inch (22 cm) skillet works well. Heat the pan and melt the pork fat. Once it's melted, add the onion and apple. Sprinkle with the sugar and cook until the onion is soft. Cut the cabbage into thin shreds and add it to the pan. Sprinkle with the vinegar to keep the color bright. Stir the cabbage together with the apple and onion, cover, and let it braise. After 10 minutes, season with salt and add the spices. Stir well. If there's enough liquid in the cabbage, cover and cook another half hour. If the cabbage seems dry and there's very little liquid, add up to half a cup of water. After 30 minutes, taste it: if the seasoning is right and the cabbage is tender, pour in the wine. Stir well and leave it covered a few minutes more. After 5 minutes, the braised red cabbage is done. It's great with chicken, duck, or pork, and especially tasty with grilled sausages. It also pairs nicely with mashed potatoes. I highly recommend giving it a try — anyone who loves cabbage or vegetable braises is sure to enjoy it.
