Rotkohl, Blaukraut, Rotkraut - Red Cabbage
|
This very popular vegetable can be served with Rouladen,
Sauerbraten
or
Roasted Duck.
Ingredients:
3/4 - 1 kg / 1.6 - 2.2 lbs red cabbage
40 g / 1.4 oz butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 medium onion
2 - 3 tart apples
4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
salt, 1 cup red wine
3 - 4 cloves
2 - 3 bay leaves
1 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons blue berry or red currant jam (optional)
Preparation
Wash the red cabbage, remove trunk and cut into fine strips. Brown the sugar in
the butter until light brown in color. Add the finely chopped onion and in small
cubes cut peeled apples. Sauté for a few minutes. Add the red cabbage and
mix everything to combine. Immediately pour a little of the red wine vinegar on
the cabbage so it retains the red color. Season with salt, add a little of red
wine, bay leaves, cloves and steam covered on medium heat until cabbage is tender
for about 45 - 60 minutes. At the end dust cabbage with some flour, season to taste
and add some more red wine and/or vinegar if necessary. Add some jam if desired
for enhanced taste, stir.
Tip: Do not cook cabbage in a cracked enamel
pot because the taste may be compromised and the food may get discolored!
