Scandinavian Red Cabbage
Sweet-sour and savory, Scandinavian Red Cabbage is a traditional holiday dish that pairs well with pork or poultry. Healthy and tasty!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter or vegetable oil for a vegan version
- 1 red cabbage medium to large, cut finely (about 12 cups shredded)
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 Tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Heat butter (or oil) in a large dutch oven or stock pot.
- Add cabbage, salt, vinegar and sugar and stir well to make sure salt is well distributed.
- Cover pan and let cook on medium low for about 10 minutes, checking periodically to make sure that cabbage is releasing its juices and that liquid isn't cooking out.
- Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until cabbage is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Cabbage can be served at this point or can be caramelized (see below).
- Optional final step. Increase heat to medium or medium high and cook until bottom layer of cabbage starts to brown. Deglaze the pan with a little water, stir cabbage, and repeat until desired level of caramelization is reached.
Notes
This freezes very well.
