We're going to cook a very beautiful, super easy cabbage side dish. All ingredients are totally to taste. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy, with a tiny hint of caraway to interest you.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
1 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
salt to taste
⅓ cup water
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook cabbage in the hot butter until it begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt. Pour in water, red wine, and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine. Mix in sugar and caraway seeds.
  • Continue to cook and stir until liquid has evaporated and cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes. If cabbage isn't quite tender, add a splash of water and continue cooking a few more minutes.
