This is one of my favorite side dishes to make because it's incredibly simple and comes together in just an hour. Red cabbage is wonderfully affordable and packed with antioxidants that are great for your health. The combination of warm spices like anise and cinnamon with a touch of vinegar sweetness creates something really special that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or hearty grain bowls. You'll be amazed at how such basic ingredients transform into something restaurant quality, and honestly, most of the time is just letting it simmer away while you attend to other things.
