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.

Categories     side-dish

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

  • 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.
