Red Cabbage Sauté

Red Cabbage Sauté is a quick, easy, and budget-friendly side dish that everyone can enjoy. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it offers a sweeter and more delicate flavor compared to other cabbage varieties, and it magically changes color with the addition of vinegar, adding a subtle tang to the dish.

This exquisite side is excellent alongside meat or cured meats and pairs wonderfully with bold fish such as salmon or tuna. It also elevates juicy burgers or creamy risottos, especially when combined with gorgonzola cheese!
