Ingredients

6 servings

2 tbsp unsalted butter
Monty's Dairy Free Plant-Based Butter Original

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 small head red cabbage (about 2 lb), cored and thinly sliced
2 medium tart apples (such as granny smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
½ cup dry red wine
½ cup water
2 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp red currant jelly (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until foamy. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the red cabbage and apples to the pot and stir to combine with the onion. Pour in the red wine vinegar and stir well — the cabbage will begin to turn a brighter red.
