PICKLED RED CABBAGE WITH CRANBERRIES AND APPLE



Pickled Red Cabbage with Cranberries and Apple image

It may be my German heritage, but I love cabbage. This dish is also hysterical because it reminds me of the scene in A Christmas Story when the kid keeps smashing his face into his red cabbage, mashed potatoes and meatloaf. Classic. At the restaurant I serve this side dish with lightly breaded pork cutlets and a super herbaceous chive spaetzle. Also, after sitting in the refrigerator overnight, the cabbage will be almost translucent and really glossy. Beautiful.

Provided by Food Network

Time 8h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
1 medium apple, sliced (I like to use a Pink Lady or Fuji)
1 small red cabbage, sliced
Salt
2 cups fresh cranberries
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute the red onions with the apples until they are slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the red cabbage, season with salt and saute until the cabbage begins to wilt, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the cranberries, sugar and vinegar and cook until the juices reduce and the cabbage looks glossy, about 15 minutes. Chill the cabbage and cranberry mixture overnight. It can be served both warm or cool, according to one's taste.

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup apple-cider vinegar, plus more for sauce (optional)

Return pork to pot and continue cooking until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 138 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove pork and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. If necessary, return vegetables and apples to oven and cook, covered, until fork-tender, 10 to 20 minutes more.
