Red Cabbage
Print This Recipe
This delicious cabbage dish comes from central Europe and goes well with roast chicken pork, goose or duck. It can be prepared with either cider vinegar or just red wine. I use cider vinegar because it adds more kick to it. This is one of those recipes that is even better the second day.
INGREDIENTS
1 large red cabbage
1 large onion, peeled and left whole
1 large eating apple, peeled, cored and diced
4 cloves
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
Water
Salt and pepper
Quarter cabbage; cut out the stalk and shred very fine. Push the cloves into the onion and place it into a sauce pan.
Place layers of shredded cabbage, salt, pepper, and apples into the saucepan. Pour vinegar and water over it and let cook gently for 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Check for seasonings and serve.
NOTE - To make the cababage shiny, add 1 small finely grated potato for the last 10 minutes, stir in, making sure not to let it stick to the bottom.
