Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons butter
1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
1 3/4 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 2-pound head red cabbage, cored, thinly sliced (about 12 cups)
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Add onion and caraway. Cover; cook 3 minutes. Add cabbage. Cover; cook until cabbage begins to soften, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar; cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring often, about 4 minutes longer. Add dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, tightly packed head of cabbage for best results.
  • Cut the cabbage properly: Cut the cabbage into even-sized wedges to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the cabbage to cook evenly and prevent it from overcrowding.
  • Sauté the cabbage in oil: Sautéing the cabbage in oil will help it to caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture.
  • Add the vinegar and sugar mixture: The vinegar and sugar mixture will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the cabbage.
  • Simmer the cabbage until tender: Simmer the cabbage until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
  • Serve the cabbage hot or cold: Sweet and sour cabbage can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.
