Sweet and Sour Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté {Paleo; Whole30}

March 17, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

This paleo and Whole30-friendly Sweet and Sour Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté pairs well as a side dish with just about anything.

To me, other than a shamrock-wielding leprechaun sitting next to a pot of gold under a rainbow, few things in life say Happy St. Paddy’s Day more than cabbage.

And really, when it comes to comfort food in vegetable form, what’s better than buttered cabbage? Nothing I can think of, save for maybe cauliflower mash, which also ranks pretty high on the healthy comfort food scale.

Here I cooked down a ton of cabbage in a bit of nutrient-dense clarified butter. Apple cider vinegar adds the sour and sweet apples add the sweetness. A touch of ground marjoram is one of my favorite secret ingredient pairings when I make cabbage or homemade sausage, adding a delicate but distinguishable je ne sais quois.

If you have leftovers and want to reinvent them into an entirely new dish, this makes a really fantastic soup. For every 1 cup of cabbage sauté, I add about 1 1/4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock (I like chicken stock here for the richness), 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, and salt and pepper to taste; if you want a quick and easy way to bump up the protein of this soup, you could add canned white beans or browned turkey or chicken sausage.

This side dish pairs well with just about anything, from grilled or roasted chicken, to bratwurst, to pot roast, to corned beef. And don’t forget to wear something green, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. ;)

Prep time:  10 mins
Cook time:  35 mins
Total time:  45 mins
Yield: 8 servings
 
This paleo and Whole30-friendly Sweet and Sour Green Cabbage and Apple Sauté pairs well as a side dish with just about anything.
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons clarified butter/ghee (I use EatLuv)
  • 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1½ to 1¾ lbs green cabbage, sliced into thin shreds (about 8 cups sliced)
  • 4 tablespoons raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground marjoram
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 small-medium sweet apples, peeled, cored, quartered, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat the ghee in a soup pot. Add the onion and cook until softened and starting to caramelize, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the cabbage, vinegar, water, salt, marjoram, and black pepper and cook until the cabbage is starting to wilt, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Cover the pot and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water as necessary if the pot gets too dry. Stir in the apple during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  4. Serve with the parsley sprinkled on top, if using.

Instagram post 2185880916279076048_193133428 I asked my dad what he wanted me to bring for Thanksgiving. I know my uncle is making the turkey 🦃🍽 (and probably no less than 10 side dishes lol), so I wasn't at all surprised when dad said everything is all set. I told him there's no way I'm coming empty handed (and the veggie soup I made for his freezer stash doesn't count bc it's not Thanksgiving-related!), and he told me to bring "one of those crazy keto desserts" I make. 🤣 (Apparently my crazy keto dessert reputation precedes me. 🤷🏼‍♀️😆👏🏻) I'm going to try to find time to whip up something low carb, or I might go with this crowd-pleaser that makes enough to feed a crowd! If you've never made slab pie, the beauty of it is that it makes a huge pie 🥧 with minimal extra effort than what it takes to make a normal pie. (Side Note: Don't fear the pie! If even I can make a pastry crust, you definitely can. 😘) And I don't know about you, but when I indulge in pie, it's apple for me alllll the way. 🍎🍏 . .
