German Red Cabbage and Apple

I love red cabbage and it’s good for you! Tangy and sweet, this German red cabbage and apple recipe makes a satisfying side dish that goes well with meats or a vegetarian rice bowl.

I based the recipe on German Red Cabbage recipe from A Taste of Home but opted to go with a suggestion in the comments to use brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. I also upped the onion and changed the black pepper for white pepper.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 small yellow onions, halved and sliced
• 1 medium apple, sliced
• 1 medium head red cabbage, shredded (a food processor makes this a quick job)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

1. Add the oil to a large pot, add onion and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until onion is tender.
2. Add remaining ingredients, give it a good stir, cover, and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Serve warm or cold.
