I love cooking with red cabbage. The color is amazing and it makes everything look good. I’ve found that even my non-cabbage eating kids will gobble this up. And the color is definitely the reason. When you have girls who love the color purple, I guess that should go without saying. (By the way, I just don’t get why it’s called red cabbage when it is so clearly purple. Does anybody know?)

If you’ve never cooked with red cabbage, this would definitely be a great introduction for you. It is easy and tastes great.cabbagepotatoes

“Purple” Potatoes

  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 lbs. red skinned potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 T. butter
  • 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 T. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 t. each salt, pepper & thyme (plus more to taste, if desired)

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and potatoes, cook about 5-7 minutes over medium heat, until potatoes just start to get a little browned. Reduce heat, cover and cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 10-15 minutes.

2. Turn heat back up; add remaining ingredients and cook just until cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.  Serve hot or at room temperature.

    Looks good! Thankfully all our children love cabbage, but I’ve never made the red….err purple cabbage before. I’ll try it!
