Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. (1 minute)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden. This will take about 5 minutes and draws out the natural sweetness of the onion.

03

Step
2 mins

Stir in the beer, whole grain mustard, and minced fresh thyme. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the sauce has slightly thickened. (2 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Add the thinly sliced cabbage and cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the cabbage is coated with the sauce.

05

Step

Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the cabbage is wilted and tender. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the cabbage and your desired level of tenderness. (8-10 minutes)

06

Step

Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

For a vegetarian option, ensure your beer is vegan-friendly. Many beers are clarified using animal products.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of brown sugar or maple syrup along with the vinegar.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time. The flavors meld beautifully as it sits. Simply reheat gently before serving.
Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick of heat.
Serve as a side dish with roasted pork, sausages, or grilled chicken. It's also delicious as a filling for vegetarian tacos or as a topping for crostini.
