Braised Red Cabbage and Apples
Report
Perfectly cooked braised red cabbage with apples is a simple side dish in which cabbage is slow-cooked with onion, red wine, apple cider vinegar, and apples. The sweet and sour flavors of this dish compliments and balance the richness of any roast meat like roast chicken, pork, or even German sausages.

Ingredients
- 4 strips bacon chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small bay leaf optional
- 2 cloves clove optional
- 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium red cabbage cored and sliced thin
- 1 tart apple cored and grated
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup red wine optional
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Use a large pot-like Dutch oven to make braised red cabbage as raw cabbage will need a lot of space.
- First cook diced bacon in the pot until crispy and golden brown. Remove crispy bacon using a slotted spoon onto a plate or bowl.
- Add butter to the same pot. If bacon oozes a lot of fat skip butter.
- Add a small bay leaf and 2 cloves.
- Saute onion in the pot for a minute.
- Add sliced cabbage along with the stock, red wine, and salt to taste.
- Cover and cook on medium-low flame for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the cabbage from burning at the bottom.
- Note: adjust cooking time based on how you like the consistency of the cabbage. 20 minutes will make the cabbage tender and soft if you like to have a little crunch cook for less time.
- Add apple, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and freshly ground pepper. Continue to cook with occasional stirring for another 4-5 minutes.
- Finally, stir in apple cider vinegar to braised red cabbage. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- When ready to serve stir in crispy bacon and serve immediately.

- You can dump all ingredients at once and cook, but I prefer this method to sauté ingredients briefly and add ingredients one by one. This way the dish has layers of flavors and makes a difference.
