Part 8/10:
Vegetables can shine when braised to tender perfection. A standout side is red cabbage with caramelized apples, where large wedges of onion and apple are cooked in butter and sugar until golden and soft. The cabbage is layered on top, cooked with water and cider vinegar to preserve its vibrant purple color and develop a sweet-tangy flavor profile. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted pork, turkey, or chicken, providing a seasonal burst of flavor and color on any table.
