If you're looking for a delicious, healthy vegetable side, it doesn't get better than this braised cabbage recipe. Caraway seeds add a nutty flavor and play well with the shallots, thyme and parsley. Serve alongside roasted chicken, bratwurst or pork chops.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 head green cabbage (1½ lbs.), cored and cut into 1-inch pieces (6 cups)
½ cup sliced shallots
½ cup dry white wine
2 cups lower-sodium no-chicken broth
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add caraway seeds; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; add oil and butter; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cabbage and shallots; stir to coat well. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage is slightly wilted, about 6 minutes. Stir in wine; cook, undisturbed, over medium-high heat until most of the wine has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, vinegar, thyme, pepper and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook, undisturbed, until the cabbage has softened, but still has some texture, about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and any remaining liquid is a saucy consistency, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
