Chef John's Red Cabbage Braise
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch caraway seeds
Instructions
1
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; melt it until it's fully incorporated and starts to shimmer.
2
Cook the cabbage in the hot butter, stirring occasionally, until it begins to lose its crunch and soften slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
3
Add a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors and season to taste.
4
Pour in water, red wine, and red wine vinegar; stir everything together until it's well combined.
5
Add a spoonful of sugar to balance the flavors and mix in some caraway seeds for added depth.
6
Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced and the cabbage is tender to your liking, about 5 minutes.
7
If the cabbage isn't quite there yet, add a small amount of water and continue cooking for a few more minutes until it reaches the desired tenderness.
