Ingredients
- 4 trips Bacon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium head red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 Granny Smith apples, sliced (peel on)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, thyme, or other herbs
Instructions
- In a large braiser or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Add the butter to the hot skillet with the bacon and drippings. When the butter melts, stir in the cabbage, apples, and onion; sauté until soft, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and braise until very soft, about 15-20 more minutes.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- I use a food processor to quickly slice the cabbage wedges (remove the tough outer leaves first). You can do this with a sharp knife, too.
- If you like your braised red cabbage even more tender, you can keep the dish covered and continue braising over low heat for up to 90 minutes. It's purely a matter of preference, so keep an eye on it, taste it, and pull it off of the stove when it reaches your desired consistency.
- Granny Smith apples work best here, thanks to their sweet-tart flavor and sturdy texture that holds up well in the cooking process. You can substitute with Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, or other similar firm apples, too.
- I like the texture from the apple peel, so I leave them on. If you prefer, you can peel your apples before adding them to the dish.
- If you don't have bacon, you can substitute with an extra tablespoon of butter. I just love the rich, smoky flavor that the bacon adds to the braising liquid.
- Add caraway seeds, garlic, or shallots for even more flavor.
