🧂 Ingredients

• 26.5 oz red cabbage

  shredded
• ¾ tsp salt

  or more to taste
• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 onions

  diced
• 1 very large apple

  e.g. Boskop, diced
• ⅔ cup red wine

  or grape juice
• 3-4 tbsp apple vinegar

  or sub white vinegar
• ¾ cup apple juice
• 2 bay leaves
• ¾ tsp black pepper

  or more to taste
• 2-3 tbsp agave syrup

  or sugar to taste
• 1 pinch of pimento

  optional

Instructions

• 1 Add the shredded red cabbage to a bowl. Sprinkle with ¾ tsp of salt and massage
  it with your hands for a few minutes. Then set aside while it becomes a little
  softer.
• 2 In the meantime, heat the vegan butter in a large heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the
  diced onion and apples and sauté for about 5 minutes. Then add the red cabbage
  and red wine and let it cook down briefly. Add the apple vinegar, apple juice,
  bay leaves as well as black pepper, agave syrup, and pimento to taste. Bring to
  a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and braise for about 45
  minutes, stirring occasionally (add more liquid if necessary). Finally, taste
  and adjust with salt, pepper, and agave syrup.
• 3 Optional step: If you prefer it thicker, stir 1 tsp of cornstarch into 3-4 tbsp
  of water in a cup. Then stir the mixture into the red cabbage, and let it cook
  for a short while until it thickens.
• 4 Remove the bay leaves before serving. Enjoy!
