Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the sliced red cabbage and water. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Drizzle with olive oil, then add the apple cider vinegar and caraway seeds. (1 minute)

03

Step

Season generously with salt and pepper. (30 seconds)

04

Step

Cover the pot tightly and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water if the cabbage starts to stick to the pot, until the cabbage is tender-crisp and the liquid has mostly evaporated. This will take approximately 25-30 minutes.

06

Step

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.

For a richer flavor, sauté a diced onion in the olive oil before adding the cabbage.
A pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup can enhance the cabbage's natural sweetness.
This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, sausages, or vegetarian entrees like lentil loaf.
For a main course, consider adding cooked apples, toasted walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese during the last few minutes of cooking.
