Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 6 ounces)
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 pound fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), stalks trimmed flush with bulb and bulb chopped fine (about 1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large heavy non-stick skillet cook cabbage in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until wilted slightly, about 5 minutes. Add fennel and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and liquid is almost evaporated, 10 or 15 minutes.

    Step 2

    Serve cabbage and fennel hot or at room temperature.
