Instructions

  1. 1.

    Finely dice the yellow onion and add it to a large pot with 2 Tbsp butter. Sauté over medium to medium-low heat for about five minutes, or until the onions are tender and transparent.

  2. 2.

    While the onions are sautéing, finely shred one head of red cabbage (about 2 lbs. or 6-8 cups shredded) and thinly slice one granny smith apple.

  3. 3.

    Add the shredded cabbage, sliced apple, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 tsp salt to the pot.

  4. 4.

    Place the lid on the pot, turn the heat to medium (if not already), and cook the cabbage, stirring every few minutes, until it’s wilted (about 20-30 minutes depending on how soft you like it).

  5. 5.

    If the bottom of the pot begins to dry up, add another 1/4 cup water.

  6. 6.

    Once finished, taste the cabbage and add some freshly cracked pepper, and more salt or vinegar if desired.
