Sweet and sour; excellent with pork.
ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, thinly sliced
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 med small red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into thin slices
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
directions
- 1
Cook the bacon until crisp, over medium heat in a large Dutch oven with a lid, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, cinnamon, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 8 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the apple, broth, vinegar, sugar, the remaining salt, and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, about 1 hour.

Uncover; bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and bay leaves; correct seasonings. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.
notes
If preferred, increase the red wine vinegar to create a tarter dish. Excellent with any roast.
