Sweet and Sour Cabbage
We had “Sweet & Sour Cabbage” (red cabbage) last night, which happens to be a typical German/Bavarian recipe. Pia loves the sweet and sour taste. Here’s the recipe in case you’re interested:
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2 onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 2/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 pounds (about 1 head) red cabbage, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into thin slices
- 1/2 cup apple juice
Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add onions; saute until translucent, about 10 mins. Mix in next 7 ingredients. Add cabbage; cook until cabbage begins to wilt, stirring often, about 5 mins. Cover; simmer until cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring often, about 17 mins. Uncover; add apple and apple juice and cook until apple is crisp-tender, stirring often, about 5 mins.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
