Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small head (approximately 1.5 lbs) red cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely sliced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.33 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cut it in half. Slice the cabbage thinly into shreds and set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shredded red cabbage to the skillet and stir to coat it in the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften.
Sprinkle the raisins over the cabbage, and add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the water and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cabbage cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt or vinegar for brightness.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
