Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Caraway Seeds

Adapted from The All New Joy of Cooking, via Orangette.

I know a lot of you might shrink back in a weird fear of braised cabbage. I did at first too, but this is good. Like, really good. I can't wait to make some more of it. Tart and sweet, you'll never look back.

Ingredients

2 Tbs olive oil
3 Tbs finely chopped red onion
1 small head red cabbage (about two pounds), quartered, cored, and very thinly sliced
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and coarsely grated
3 Tbs apple cider vinegar
2 Tbs honey
1 tsp salt
1/8 to ¼ tsp caraway seeds


Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook until translucent and slightly golden. Add cabbage, apple, vinegar, honey, salt, and caraway seeds. Cover pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very soft but not falling apart, about an hour.

Serves roughly 4. Delicious warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy!
