Recipe Summary Red Cabbage With Apples

This recipe makes for a great veggie side. The apple adds a nice flavour to otherwise bland cabbage and of course bacon makes everything taste good!

Ingredients | German Style Red Cabbage

3 tablespoons coconut oil, or as needed

4 slices bacon, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste

1 head red cabbage, chopped

½ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup brown sugar

2 cooking apples (such as Cortland or Gala) peeled and chopped

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat coconut oil over medium heat in a large skillet; cook and stir bacon, onion, and garlic until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir cabbage into bacon mixture and toss to coat with oil. Cover skillet, reduce the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage begins to soften, about 10 minutes.

Stir cider vinegar and brown sugar together in a bowl; pour over cabbage mixture. Stir apples into cabbage mixture; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and cabbage is tender, about 35 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow cabbage mixture to stand, covered, for about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

You can substitute olive oil for coconut oil.
