Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup for a refined sugar option)
  • 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced red cabbage to the pot. Stir to coat with the oil.
  4. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and water or broth. Stir well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender.
  7. Remove the lid for the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken into a glaze.
  8. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if you wish.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Sasha often adds a pinch of ground cloves for extra warmth.
  • If the glaze becomes too thick before the cabbage is tender, add a splash more water.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day.
  • For a little kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes with the onions.
