Braised red cabbage with red wine
Braised red cabbage with red wine is an excellent autumn / winter side dish with it’s sweet and sour taste. It’s bright purple, has a glorious texture and the flavor of the red cabbage mingles perfectly with warming spices and red wine. It’s a great recipe to cook for Thanksgiving, Christmas or just anytime.
I find red cabbage just such a lovely vegetable, as it’s healthy and nutritious. I mean, did you know that red cabbage has more vitamin C than oranges? Great, right?!
Anyways, to give red cabbage an extra punch I used red wine. It brings the dish to a whole new level and goes very well with warming spices.
Just give this recipe a try. I’m sure you’ll love the combination of red cabbage, spices and red wine!
