Sauteed Red Cabbage
- Prep: 10 mins
- 50 mins
- Serves: 4

Picture a beautiful piece of pork belly complete with gravy, mashed potatoes and a side of this sweet yet sour red cabbage. I know it doesn't look like much, but this is one of my ultimate comfort sides. My Mum would make this for me growing up at least once a week. It works beautifully with just about any roast, schnitzel, goulash (pictured) or as a side to sausages. Add a few chopped up rashes of bacon to the pan first to really pump up the flavour, or eat it just as it is. This will keep for 2 days in the fridge or can be frozen up to 2 months.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red or brown onion, finely diced
- 1 green apple, peeled and grated
- 1/2 large red cabbage, finely shredded (using a knife, peeler, mandolin or food processor)
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
- 2/3 cup sultana
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and apple. Cook, stirring for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the red cabbage, cook for 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the apple cider vinegar, salt, brown sugar, pepper and 1/3 cup water. Cook, stirring for 1 minute until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, place the lid on, cook for 30 minutes stirring halfway. If you find the cabbage is sticking at the halfway point, add 1-2 tbsp of water.
- Add the sultanas, cook for another 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
- Serve with pork schnitzel or goulash.
