Servings: 4 servings

Equipment
- Skillet
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- ½ red cabbage finely shredded
- 1 apple cored and cut into cubes
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ⅓ cup water or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional, or white distilled vinegar
- salt to taste
- black pepper optional, to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients, with the exception of the apple, to a large skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, give it a good stir, and let simmer for 25 minutes.
- Add the apple and cook for a further 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the cooking time to ensure that it doesn't start to stick or burn if the water has been evaporated. Add more water as required.
- Remove the bay leaf, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add a touch more water to the skillet if it has evaporated but the cabbage isn't cooked to the texture of your preference.
- While I use water for this recipe, you can use a vegetable stock instead for a more savoury taste.
- I like my apple in bigger chunks, but cut to the size you prefer.
- For my low histamine readers, if you prefer to stick to foods that are mostly rated as 0 on SIGHI, then you can swap out apple cider vinegar for white distilled vinegar.
- Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- red cabbage scores 0 but has a ? as a liberator.
- apple cider vinegar, which scores 1.
- cinnamon scores 0 on the list, but is rated as higher histamine on others. Cardamom could be a good swap.
- black pepper, which scores 2 although small amounts are stated to be well tolerated.
- bay laurel is not rated with a number, although it is stated that small amounts are well tolerated.
