October '23 - Braised Red Cabbage with Goat Cheese

 

Ingredients

  • 1 head of red cabbage (shredded into thin strips)

  • 1/2 cup white vinegar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 2 1/2 TBSP butter

  • 2 1/2 TBSP sugar

  • 2-4oz of fresh creamy plain goat cheese

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 325

  • Cut the head of cabbage in half lengthwise, cut out the core from each half, then lay with flat side down and cut cross wise into thin strips

  • Place a Dutch Oven (or other oven-safe pot with tight-fitting, non-venting lid) over medium heat with the vinegar, water, butter, and sugar

  • Warm that for about 3-5 mins just until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved

  • Add in the chopped cabbage and stir

  • Cover with the fitted lid and place the Dutch Oven into the preheated oven to braise for about 2 hours. You will want to stir things about every 30 minutes. If the liquid has completely evaporated before cooking time is over then add a bit more water.

The longer the cabbage braises the richer/deeper shade of purple it will become. This is my cabbage when cooked just over half way.

  • Once cooked nice and tender the cabbage will be a deep shade of purple. & all of your liquid should be absorbed

  • Remove it from the oven and spoon the cabbage into serving dishes.

  • Top with a sprinkle of flake salt (optional) and a few dollops of fresh goat cheese
