  • 2-3 tbsp of canola or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of onion powder or more if you like

Braised Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage

Ingredients:

  • 1 red cabbage head
  • 2 tbs canola or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of vinegar or apple cider vinegar (I have used either one, both are good)
  • 4 tbsp of Xylitol or sweetener
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp half salt or more if you like
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

  • Cut the red cabbage into quarters and remove the core. 
  • Slice/shred into very thin slices.
  • Measure out 1/4 cup of vinegar and add the sweetener. 
  • Mix until dissolved.

Apparently, red cabbage is OK for phase 1 or 2.    It is good as a side dish to pork or chicken. Once it is cooled, I transfer them to 1 cup or 2 cup Ziploc containers and freeze them.  Really good.
