Braised Red Cabbage: RELOADED

We've revved up the original recipe featured on Good Eats by adding a stronger stone-ground mustard (we used Grey Poupon). We've also added pulse flakes, a dried, red algae often used in Irish cuisine, which lends a bit of umami and funk.

Procedure

  • Place the pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, then add the caraway seeds and toast until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add half of the butter, the onion, apples, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook for 4 minutes, until softened and just beginning to brown.
  • Stir in the cabbage, the remaining salt, black pepper, and dulse flakes. Pour in the chicken stock, cover with the lid, and cook for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.
