Sweet & Sour Red Cabbage

 I just love cabbage!  Steamed or sauteed green cabbage was one of my childhood favorites.  Red cabbage is a savory side dish and has become one of my favorites.  It's a great accompaniment to Beef Carbonnade!

 

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 red cabbage, washed & shredded

1/3  cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt & pepper to taste (liberal amount of pepper!)

Heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add onion and cook until it begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.  Add cabbage and cook until it wilts, about 5 more minutes.  Add vinegar, sugar, salt & pepper.  Reduce heat, cover, and continue to cook until cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
