Quick Facts

Servings: 4
Delicious with chicken, this tangy dish is a winner, especially during the chilly winter months when cabbage is in season.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium red cabbage head
  • 1 medium apple
  • 1 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Cut cabbage into quarters. Slice away the inner core and discard. Slice the quartered cabbage into thin strips. Core apple and chop into 1/2-inch (1cm) pieces.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Add cabbage and apple and cook, uncovered, stirring for 10 minutes, until cabbage is wilted.
  • Add brown sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper, and mix well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes more.

* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn.
