Braised Cabbage

I love braised cabbage with meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but it goes perfectly with any rich, meaty main dish. Corned beef and cabbage are a classic pairing, but braised cabbage would be delicious with a pork roast, slow-cooker brisket or roast chicken.

Ingredients :
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 medium head cabbage, chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
Directions :
  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add cabbage, onion and carrots; cook 4-5 minutes or until slightly soft. Stir in chicken broth, vinegar, salt and pepper; bring to a simmer.
  2. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until tender, 20-25 minutes. Stir in sugar, red pepper flakes and if desired, caraway seeds.
