Ingredients
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice (or 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb (450 g) green cabbage, core removed and thinly sliced into shreds (about 4 to 5 cups)
  • 1 medium-large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 5 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries, divided
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill (or 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley)
Instructions
  1. Whisk together the water, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Add the oil to a large, deep-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cabbage, onion, 4 tablespoons cranberries, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and water/lemon juice/honey mixture.
  3. Give it a stir to coat, then cover the skillet and cook until the cabbage is tender and starts to take on a rosy hue, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle on the reserved 1 tablespoon of cranberries and the dill (or parsley); serve.
Notes
A Note on the Sweet/Tart Balance: This dish is easy to make sweeter or tangier to suit your tastes by adding more or less tartness (lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) or sweetness (honey).
