Finally! A recipe! After tasting the delicious sweet and sour cabbage over mashed potatoes combination a few weeks ago, I've come up with a super simple and healthy way to make it myself.The jarred variety that I recently had was good, but a bit too sweet for me and it was made with red cabbage (and corn syrup - yuck). I didn't have any on hand, and I knew that aesthetically speaking, regular cabbage simmered would be kind of ugly, so I threw in a shredded beet and it gave the dish a beautiful color. This recipe calls for only a handful of ingredients and only takes a few minutes to put together, but FYI, about an hour to simmer.
Red Sweet and Sour Cabbage (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan)
(serves 4 as a side dish)
1 medium sized cabbage, shredded
1 small onion, sliced
1 beet, peeled and shredded
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons agave (can use brown sugar instead)
freshly ground salt and pepper (about a teaspoon of each)
1/2 teaspoon ground all spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
In a saucepan on medium high heat, add all of the ingredients, mix and bring to a boil. Cover and turn down heat to a simmer over low-medium. Continue to simmer for 45 to 55 minutes and check occasionally and stir. Serve immediately warm, or chill in the refrigerator and serve cold over mashed potatoes.

Now this sounds gooood. Do you think less sweetener could be used?
I do Alisa, especially since this has the sweetness to the beet in it. Though, it will definately be more sour than sweet, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!
Ooooh, this definitely sounds worth a try! I am never quite sure what to do with cabbage, since I don't generally like any of the salads it is found in. Such a pretty color too.
I just had braised red cabbage the other night with dinner and realized I love it! I am going to have to try this recipe!!
As a a girl with German roots, I am drawn to this recipe : ) Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try a version with a little less vinegar and a little less agave.
I hear you JennK! I used to never buy it, but I've come to discover it's pretty versatile.
I don't know how many times I've read a new post on your blog and thought "I just tried that food!" Great minds think alike Ricki :)
I've got those German roots too Kim. Let me know how it goes :)
