A delightful side dish combining the natural sweetness of cabbage and apples with a tangy kick, perfect for any occasion.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even heat distribution.
Add the chopped red onion and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the garlic after the onion to avoid burning it.
Add the shredded purple cabbage and diced apples to the pan.
Cut the cabbage and apples into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Pour in the vegetable stock, balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle in the brown sugar and bay leaf.
Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the liquid hasn't evaporated completely.
Remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite grain bowl.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
