- 1/2 teaspoon vegan apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup water

- 3 bay leaves
- 4 cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onion. Wash the cabbage and the apple and thinly slice* them (leave out the core).
- In a large pot, heat the canola oil and add in the chopped onions. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until soft.
- Add in the sliced cabbage and apple and give it a good stir. Mix in the water, apple cider vinegar, rice syrup, salt, cloves and bay leaves. Give it a good mix, cover it with the lid, reduce the heat a bit and let it simmer for about 40 minutes until the cabbage is soft and the water has evaporated. Stir every now and then.
