Sweet and Tangy Cabbage-Cranberry Sauté

December 20, 2013 by Faith 11 Comments

I love how certain colors are associated with specific holidays.

Just a couple examples…

Red = Valentine’s Day

Green = St. Patrick’s Day

Orange = Halloween

Blue and White = Hanukkah

And of course, Red and Green = Christmas.

I know, it is a little cutesy to make things like red risotto for Valentine’s and green cupcakes for St. Paddy’s…but that’s the point, it is cute. And so festive.

That’s where this Sweet and Tangy Cabbage-Cranberry Sauté comes in. And admittedly, I was lacking a little bit in green when I made it, but I’m confident your dish will look better than mine, lol. I used dried dill, but to really amp up the color green, use fresh dill (because you can use a little more of it since fresh isn’t as strong as dried), or use fresh parsley, which you can even use a little more of.

It goes pretty well with any number of things, making it the perfect side dish to add to your holiday table.

What’s your favorite holiday side dish?

Sweet and Tangy Cabbage-Cranberry Sauté
Prep time:  8 mins
Cook time:  20 mins
Total time:  28 mins
Yield: 4 servings
 
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).

    It’s Roctober! Cabbage is a good tasting versatile and it makes healthy flora. People take probiotics and never a thought to prebiotics they’re wasting money. Cabbage is right on the money and aids digestion and a must after a sick stay or dieting.
    I made a big pot and just in time after a round of antibiotics and it was a big hit.bi twerked the recipe using some dates cut up and my starter was some chicken bone broth from my freezer instead of water. We consume lots of veggies in the Southwest and this is a keeper .thank you.

    …Faith, if you stop being “cutesy”, I’m going to cry! That would add another profile to this dish, and no color…I did use a red onion, and 1/2 purple cabbage. So not traditional Christmas colors but festive colors, none the less. I am a cabbage freak, (or maybe just a freak)…make a salad that’s way healthier then the coleslaw most people eat. I’ll post it, or float it your way as soon as the dust settles. Your an angel, bless you and your family…XO

    Love cabbage; thanks for the recipe. I think this would be good as a relish for hot dogs during the Summer.

    Yeah – you have just saved me oodles of time trying to think of a side dish for Christmas dinner! We had two cabbages in our fridge from the CSA share and I just gave one to the chickens this week. Cabbages just intimidate me – so hard, dense, and unappetizing (even to the chickens!) But this recipe sounds perfect – simple ingredients, vegetarian, and uses up that darn cabbage!

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
