Braised Cabbage

ingredients

• 1/4 stick butter
• 1 head of cabbage, quartered, cored, very thinly sliced (about 14 cups)
• 1/2 teaspoon (or more) salt
• 3 tablespoons dry red wine or hard cider
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp brown sugar (optional)

procedure

Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add sliced cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir and toss constantly until cabbage begins to wilt, about 7 minutes. Add red wine or hard cider and sauté until liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes. Add red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar; stir constantly until cabbage is tender and turns bright fuchsia color, about 13 minutes longer. Season to taste with pepper and more salt, if desired.
