A deliciously easy braised cabbage recipe with carrots and onions, seasoned simply with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and a splash of vinegar for a little tang. I love to serve this tasty side with grilled kielbasa, smoked ham, or bratwurst,

How To Make braised cabbage

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole pan.
  • 2
    Lay the cabbage wedges in the dish as flat as you can so they absorb the braising liquid. Sprinkle the cabbage with carrots and onions.
  • 3
    Drizzle the dish with chicken broth and season with a healthy amount of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter the pats of butter over the vegetables and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • 4
    Place the dish in the oven and cook for about 1 hour. Remove the dish from the oven and carefully flip the cabbages using tongs. Cover and bake for another hour or until fork tender.
  • 5
    Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, carefully remove the foil from the dish, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cabbage lightly browns. Drizzle with balsamic or apple cider vinegar.
