Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 8 cups red cabbage shredded
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon fennel seeds

Instructions

  • Set a large, deep skillet over medium heat; add the butter. When butter is melted, add cabbage, onion, and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, frequently stirring, just until the cabbage begins to soften.
  • Add the water, red wine, and red wine vinegar. Stir in the sugar, black pepper, and fennel seeds.
  • Continue cooking and stirring occasionally for an additional 5 minutes, until the cabbage is tender.
  • Remove from heat to cool. Note that the flavors will mellow and develop as the cabbage cools. This dish is best served at room temperature or cold.
