This vibrant braised red cabbage and apple dish is a classic vegetarian side that brings a wonderful balance of sweet and savoury flavours to the table. The earthy notes of the red cabbage are lifted by the tartness of the apple cider vinegar and the aromatic warmth of caraway seeds. Unlike traditional slow-cooked methods, this quick-braised version ensures the cabbage retains a pleasant texture and its brilliant deep purple colour, making it a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
Perfectly suited for a Sunday roast or as a festive accompaniment to a Christmas spread, this recipe is naturally gluten-free and incredibly simple to prepare in a single pan. The addition of fresh apple provides a subtle sweetness that cuts through rich main courses, while the cider provides a deep, fruity undertone. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or your favourite meat alternative for a comforting, homemade meal.
