Red Cabbage Glazed With Maple Syrup

I don't like bacon. But the onions, apple and maple syrup are enough to make the dish special. I put two pieced of cod on top, sprinkled with lemon and some more maple syrup. And served them (to myself) colored purple with the sauce.

This was yummy! The cabbage so beautiful and silken. The flavor balance was perfect. I used nearly the full amount of syrup. I think the flavor balance depends on how tart your apples are and how sweet your syrup is. We prefer the very dark maple syrup which is more full bodied than the light syrup. I made sure to use a tart apple and I thought the dish was fabulous, as did my husband. We had it with pork chops and came away from table happy and satisfied. Thank you for this recipe!

I've made this about 4 times with various adaptations based on what is in my fridge and pantry. It's really good every time! I've used turkey bacon instead of pork and it just needs a touch of olive oil on the stove at the beginning. I recommend not leaving our bacon (turkey or otherwise) bc the dish will miss some needed smokiness and richness. Ive subbed honey for maple syrup twice and it works just as well. This is a really forgiving recipe and a crowd pleaser!

Made this once and it was way too sweet. Tried it again and only used 4 tsp of maple syrup and about 6 TBS of bacon bits. It was balanced, and the apple and cabbage were toothier. Next time, I'll try adding a bit of vinegar as suggested in other comments.

I was looking for a recipe for red cabbage & apples as a go with to Bison Kielbasa- this worked great! I sliced and sautéed the Bison in a pan, added the onions and transferred it to a covered casserole dish after sautéing. Added remaining ingredients as per the recipe, increasing the apples to two. Very yummy!

Use balsamic vinegar, a little less syrup. Taste for salt . Baked for 40 minutes at 375. Will definitely make again.

Really delicious. I halved the maple syrup and used pancetta instead of bacon. I made a meal of it and added pistachios and toasted almonds. I also grated some Parmesan cheese for the filling salty umami flavor. I loved the unexpected bites of pancetta with the slivers of apple. I LOVED the gorgeous purple color!! Oooh la la. I will make this again!

I agree with everyone who said this was too sweet - I would do half the maple syrup if I did it again. Mine also had a ludicrous amount of liquid in the dutch oven, I cooked it off at the end. Maybe lifting the lid for 15 mins at the end would fix that.

Spectacular (and cozy!) mixture of flavors. Cannot wait to have leftovers tomorrow...and the next day...per other reviews!

Good dish. Add 1 extra onion. Half syrup. Full head of cabbage. Added half cup of apple cider.

So yummy. I didn’t see non-spicy vegan sausage at the store I went to, so I tried vegan bacon. BTW, Morning star is NOT vegan. Neither am I, but false advertising. I quickly realized that a problem with plant-based is that it doesn’t produce any fat. Added some avocado oil. Except in baking, I frequently avoid adding salt until I taste the finished product, but did add some black pepper. Supposedly serves 4-6, but I could have finished the lot directly from my Dutch oven.

Made this recipe as is and it was seriously delicious, to the point of craving. And we’re talking cabbage!

We thought this was wonderful but a touch too sweet. The addition of 1/4 cup ACV balanced it out perfectly.

It was a bit sweeter than I really like - but I think that's because I have home-made maple syrup from a friend.. (poor me!) I'll cut down on the maple syrup to maybe 1/3 cup next time.

Add 1/4 plus cup plus red vinegar
