Cabbage With Vinegar Food

RED CABBAGE WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR & CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onions and fry, stirring every now and then, for about 10 mins, until they start to caramelise. Stir in the cloves, then add the cabbage and continue cooking, stirring more frequently this time, until the cabbage starts to soften.
• Pour in the stock, add the vinegar and sugar, then cover and cook for 10 mins.
• Stir in the cranberries and cook for 10 mins more. Cool and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat until very hot before serving.

SAUTéED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
• Heat a large saute pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits (aka FLAVOR).
• Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper if you like, or a splash more vinegar if you'd like to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

ROASTED CABBAGE WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F Cut cabbage into 12 wedges; remove thick core and discard. Pull wedges apart; toss on a large rimmed baking sheet with oil, 2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
• Cover sheet tightly with foil. Bake until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove foil; continue cooking, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss with Vinegar and serve.
