BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, one pot, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large red cabbage, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin strips

1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tart apples, such as Braeburn or granny smith, peeled, cored and sliced
About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the cabbage, and cover with cold water while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about three minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture is golden, about three minutes, then add the apples and stir for two to three minutes.
  • Drain the cabbage and add to the pot. Toss to coat thoroughly, then stir in the allspice, another 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss together.

TRADITIONAL BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Traditional Braised Red Cabbage with Apples image

This is a recipe I have been cooking for years. It's great because it can be made a day or two before and gently reheated with no last-minute bother. It is a perfect accompaniment to venison, goose or pork (and if you have any left over it does wonders for bangers and mash).

Categories     Christmas: Recipes to freeze     Life in the Freezer     Christmas: Vegetables     Large servings

Yield Serves 10-12. Scroll down to Ask Lindsey to see questions she has answered on this recipe

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb (1 kg) red cabbage
1 lb (450 g) onions, chopped small
1 lb (450 g) cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped small
1 clove garlic, chopped very small
¼ whole nutmeg, freshly grated
¼ level teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ level teaspoon ground cloves
3 level tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
½ oz (15 g) butter

Steps:

  • First discard the tough outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters and remove the hard stalk. Then shred the rest of the cabbage finely, using your sharpest knife (although you can shred it in a food processor, I prefer to do it by hand: it doesn't come out so uniform). Next, in a fairly large casserole, arrange a layer of shredded cabbage seasoned with salt and pepper, then a layer of chopped onions and apples with a sprinkling of garlic, spices and sugar. Continue with these alternate layers until everything is in. Now pour in the wine vinegar, lastly add dots of butter on the top. Put a tight lid on the casserole and let it cook very slowly in the oven for 2-2½ hours, stirring everything around once or twice during the cooking. Red cabbage, once cooked, will keep warm without coming to any harm, and it will also re-heat very successfully. And, yes, it does freeze well so, all in all, it's a real winner of a recipe.

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) red cabbage
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 medium-sized tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges
5 cups boiling water
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Wash the head of cabbage under cold running water, remove the tough outer leaves, and cut cabbage into quarters. To shred the cabbage, cut out the core and slice the quarters crosswise into 1/8?inch-wide strips.
  • In a heavy 4 to 5-quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until the onions are lightly browned. Add the cabbage, stir thoroughly, add the apples, and pour in the boiling water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, and reduce the heat to very low. Add red wine vinegar, salt and sugar, stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender. Check from time to time to make sure that the cabbage is moist and tender. If it seems dry, add a tablespoon of boiling water. When the cabbage is done, there should be almost no liquid left in the casserole. Taste for seasoning, then transfer the entire contents of the casserole to a heated platter or bowl and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1 small head red cabbage (2 pounds), cored and thinly shredded
1/4 cup red-currant jelly
3 tablespoons peeled, coarsely grated Granny Smith apple (about 1/2 apple)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine butter, sugar, salt, water, and vinegar in a Dutch oven or an ovenproof pot over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves.
  • Add cabbage, and toss to combine. Cover and place in oven. Bake, stirring once halfway through, until cabbage is wilted and tender, 1 hour and 50 minutes.
  • Stir in jelly and apple, cover, and bake 10 minutes more. Let stand, covered, until ready to serve (or for up to 1 hour; rewarm gently over low heat).

Tips:

  • To save time, use a mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and apples.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or braising pan.
  • Be sure to brown the cabbage and apples well before adding the liquid. This will help develop their flavor.
  • If you like, you can add a splash of red wine or vinegar to the braising liquid. This will give the cabbage a slightly tart flavor.
  • Serve the braised red cabbage with mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, or pork chops.

Conclusion:

Braised red cabbage with apples is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and apples, and it is also a healthy and affordable dish.
