Braised Red Cabbage

This classic braised red cabbage is a vibrant and essential vegetarian side dish that brings both colour and a pleasant tang to the dinner table. Slow-cooked in a large pan with butter and a splash of red wine, the cabbage transforms from a crunchy vegetable into a tender, glossy accompaniment. The addition of vinegar at the end doesn't just provide a sharp contrast to the rich butter; it also helps the cabbage retain its brilliant fuchsia hue, making it a beautiful addition to any seasonal spread.

Whether you are catering for a traditional Sunday roast or looking for a festive accompaniment to a winter feast, this versatile dish fits perfectly. It is naturally gluten-free and can be made a day in advance to save time during busy meal preparations. The flavours actually improve after a night in the fridge, making it an excellent choice for stress-free entertaining. Pair it with roasted root vegetables or a nut roast for a comforting, homemade meal.

Ingredients for Braised Red Cabbage

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

  • 450g head of red cabbage, quartered, cored, very thinly sliced (about 2100g )

  • 1/2 teaspoons (or more) salt

  • 45ml dry red wine or hard cider

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

How to make Braised Red Cabbage

Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add sliced cabbage and 1/2 teaspoons salt; stir and toss constantly until cabbage begins to wilt, about 7 minutes. Add red wine or hard cider and sauté until liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Add red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar; stir constantly until cabbage is tender and turns bright fuchsia colour, about 13 minutes longer. Season to taste with pepper and more salt, if desired. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm, stirring over medium heat, before serving.)
