Ingredients

  • 3 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons shallots, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 whole black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine red and green cabbage.
  • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, shallot, sugar, peppercorns and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
  • Strain vinegar mixture over cabbage; discard solids. Toss cabbage to coat. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add oil and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
