Note: YOU WILL NEED TWO HOURS TO LET THIS SIMMER ON THE STOVE!! It’s so worth it, but make sure you have that kind of time. This recipe does not require constant attention or mixing, so it’s good to have on the stove while doing something else.
Adapted from: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/40533/red-cabbage/
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 head red/purple cabbage, finely chopped or shredded
1 small apple, peeled and diced
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinaigrette
one handful of finely chopped onion (optional)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp butter
1/4 c water
DIRECTIONS:
- Put everything into a medium sized pot. Bring to boil over medium high heat on stove, uncovered. Mix well.
- Once boiled, decrease stove heat to low and put lid on pot. Let cook, stirring from time to time, for around two hours.
- It is done when the water is gone, and the taste is like candied yum.
- Enjoy!
Note: I found the final result tasted a LOT like gulkand. If I had added cardamom it would have been uncanny.
Note: No one in my house could believe this was cabbage. It was awesome and went fast.
This recipe’s a keeper. Makes a perfect side dish. It’s excellent for a pot luck because it looks unusual and impressive, everyone loves it, it doesn’t cost a lot, and although it takes two hours to make, it’s not a high maintenance two hours.
