Winexpert Burlington Wine Recipes:
Red Cabbage with Prunes and Red Wine
If you're entertaining, Winexpert Burlington has this amazing side-dish recipe for you to present to your guests!
​
Red cabbage is not only beautiful in colour, but if cooked properly it's simply delicious! It's crunchy, tangy, and by adding prunes it gives the dish an amazingly "sweet & sour" taste.
​
If you're not big on prunes - or they affect your stomach, as they do with some people - you can replace the prunes with diced apples. Try this dish as a side for pork or chicken, or even yummy as a side dish for your turkey festivities!

What you'll need:
​
-
1/2 head of red cabbage, cut into shavings
-
1 large white onion, diced
-
3 garlic cloves
-
1 Cup finely chopped prunes (or substitute for gala apples)
-
1/2 Cup red wine (dry is best for this recipe)
-
2 Tbsp. vinegar (apple cider is best for this recipe)
-
1 Tbsp. brown sugar (ONLY if not using dates or apples!)
-
2 Tbsp. grapeseed or olive oil
-
a pinch of allspice
-
a pinch of nutmeg (optional)
-
sale & pepper to taste
​
Here's how to make it:
Heat the oil in a large frying pan at medium heat, then and add onions & garlic stirring until onions are translucent (do not burn the garlic as it will be grossly bitter!)
​
Add the cabbage and sauté until it's well-coated. Then add the prunes (or apples) and the red wine, mix well.
​
Turn heat to low, add the spices and flavourings and cover, cooking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until softer but not gooey (unless you like gooey, then please go ahead!)
​
Cheers to wine!
