Our extra virgin olive oil is grown and pressed in the very south of Italy in Sicilia, but we love using it in this fall dish with traditionally Northern Italian ingredients of Savoy cabbage and apples. Our biancolilla brings balance and enhances the fruit flavor of the apples. Serve as a side dish with a ham steak or sausages, or alongside your favorite bean stew.

Directions

Heat Olio Taibi Biancolilla extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel braiser or enameled dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onion, garlic, and red pepper flake. Sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let garlic burn, lower heat if it starts to take on color.
Add cabbage, apples, and salt. Stir into onion mixture, to begin wilting of cabbage, stirring regularly.
Once cabbage has wilted down a bit, approximately 5 minutes, add apple cider vinegar, and stir to distribute.
Cover pot with lid, lower heat to medium-low, and cook slowly for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melty and soft.
Serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.

Recipe Note

Choose a firm, crisp apple that is a balance of sweet and tart, such as Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp.

Slice apples slightly thick if you want more texture in your final dish, or slice very thin if you want them to melt into the cabbage.
