Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Heat the butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golden.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 60 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn't brown too deeply.
  3. Add the shredded red cabbage to the pan and stir well to coat the cabbage in the butter.
  4. Sprinkle in the cinnamon, cloves, allspice, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt.
  5. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, stirring to glaze the cabbage. Add the water.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
