  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the cabbage. Cut a 2-pound head of cabbage in half, remove the core, slice into 3/8-inch ribbons to make 8 cups, then set aside.

    Start the sauté. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add 1 medium diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened but not browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cabbage, then add 1 cup red wine vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook. Cover with a lid and cook for 45-50 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and flavorful. Serve warm or at room temperature.
