BRAISED CABBAGE

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare red cabbage. If I don’t turn it into a slaw, I braise for a sweet and sour side. I shredded my cabbage thin so it does not have to cook for an hour. If you want to make it more traditional way, chop it roughly and braise for 45 to 50 minutes.
