Jillian Michaels: Are you looking for just the right thing to go with the Christmas turkey, ham, or duck? Try something new this year and include this healthy and quick-to-make side dish.
You'll get a healthy punch since cabbage is an awesome source of Vitamin C and the onion gives you antioxidants to fight off free radicals where they live throughout the body. But healthy advice aside, your family will thank you because the dish overall tastes great since it combines a slightly sharp and sweet flavor thanks to the caraway seasoning.
Braised Red Cabbage With Chestnuts
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons of canola oil
2 medium onions, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced
1 head of red cabbage, halved, cored, and thinly sliced
2/3 cups of reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth (Always buy broth in cardboard containers instead of cans.)
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of caraway seeds
1 cup fresh chestnuts, cooked, peeled, and halved
1/3 cup of cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
black ground pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until light golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
Add cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, sugar, and caraway seeds; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until the cabbage is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in chestnuts, vinegar, salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chestnuts are hot, 5 to 8 minutes.
Makes 8 servings.
