Background

Braised red cabbage is a very popular side-dish in Hungarian cuisine, particularly with poultry, roasted game and sausages. Unfortunately many Hungarians tend to overcook it, almost to a mushy consistency. My version is more tasty and healthy as I only cook it until the cabbage is al dente, and instead of sugar I use honey.

Ingredients

1 medium red cabbage
1 small red onion
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 or 2 tsps honey
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 Tbsp oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Remove the outer cabbage leaves, shred or plane the rest into thin strips.
Finely chop the onion.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and cook on low heat until softened. Add cabbage, stir for a minute, then add the vinegar and honey.
Simmer under cover for 15-25 minutes until you reach the desired crunchiness or tenderness.
Season to taste - adjust the honey or the vinegar, if needed.

Tips

You can tenderize the shredded cabbage in salt for about 20 minutes before cooking, but do squeeze out the liquid before you add it to the onion!
You can also add some red wine to this recipe (about 100 ml)
