Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red cabbage (1 kg)
  • 2 red onions

Instructions

  • Slice the red cabbage into thick slices, then add it to a slow cooker along with sliced onion, apple cider vinegar, honey and cinnamon.
  • Leave the dish to cook for 3-4 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low. Add any seasoning such as salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the Crockpot red cabbage immediately, or keep it on warm for up to a few hours until you’re ready to serve it.

Notes

  • Slice your cabbage in thick, bite-sized slices. Really thin slices tend to cook much faster and turn a bit mushy.
  • If you’re hesitant about the vinegar flavor, you can use a smaller amount, however I highly recommend keeping vinegar in the dish. Red cabbage typically turns blue unless it’s cooked with vinegar.
  • Don’t remove the lid from the slow cooker as the cabbage cooks. If you do, a good amount of heat is removed from the slow cooker, and the cooking time is typically increased significantly.
  • Leftover red cabbage can be stored in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat the leftovers in a microwave or pot, and serve them as a side dish.
