Notes
- Oil-free sauteed cabbage: Use ¼ cup water or vegetable broth instead when cooking purple cabbage.
- Toast the paprika and seeds: This step really helps to bring out their flavor, dispersing it throughout the dish – so don’t skip it.
- For more caramelization: Cooking red cabbage uncovered for a while, not moving it around the pan too much, is ideal for the best caramelization.
- To speed up the cooking: Add a large splash of water to the pan. It will evaporate and help steam it for a super quick red cabbage recipe.
