This simple sautéed red cabbage is a perfect winter side dish in my world! It’s easy, healthy, colorful, and delicious (and low-carb, to boot). I love this dish as-is, but depending on your mood you may choose to change it up by adding some thinly sliced onion, a bay leaf, star anise, mustard seeds or a handful of raisins. Really, the sky is the limit with this humble dish.
