Simple Sauerkraut

A staple in German cuisine, our Simple Sauerkraut puts a quick and delicious spin on a cultural classic.

PREP: 15 minutes
COOK: 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/2 head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup apple cider or apple juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, 5 minutes.
