1 red cabbage
(about 3 pounds), halved, cored and sliced
2/3 cup defatted
reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon caraway
seeds
1/4 cup white
vinegar
Salt & freshly
ground black pepper to taste
Heat oil in a
large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring,
until the onions start to turn golden, about 8 minutes. Add cabbage and
cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes.
Stir in broth,
caraway seeds, and sugar substitute if using. Bring to a simmer. Cover
and cook over low heat until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Uncover and stir
in vinegar. Increase heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally,
until most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with
salt and pepper.
The recipe can be
made ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
