Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces bacon
4 ounces unsalted butter
1 pound onions, thinly sliced
2 pounds cabbage, shredded
2 tart green apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 ounces red wine vinegar
8 ounces white chicken stock
6 ounces dark beer
4 ounces apple cider vinegar

Steps:

Saute the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is crisp. Add the butter and melt. Add the onions and saute for about 3 minutes or until they are translucent. Add the red cabbage and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the cornstarch and seasonings. Bring to a boil and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover and simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until cabbage is soft and tender. Make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a small amount of water or chicken stock. Blend the slurry into the braising liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Season, to taste,with salt and black pepper.
