DANISH CHRISTMAS RED CABBAGE



Danish Christmas Red Cabbage image

In Denmark it is traditional to serve a cooked pickled red cabbage for the Christmas Eve dinner. This is my mother's, and it is so easy to make and will be a great sidedish to any roast duck, turkey or goose. When reheating, I like to add a tablespoon of black currant jam to enhance the flavor.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices bacon
1 large head cabbage, cored and shredded
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
½ cup white vinegar, or to taste
½ cup white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Lay two slices of bacon across the bottom of a large pot. Cover with a layer of cabbage. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour and a pinch of caraway seed. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat layering as many times as possible until you run out of room.
  • Fill the pot with enough water to come about 3/4 up the side. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly, then stir in the vinegar and sugar. Use your own judgment. Add sugar carefully to taste. The idea is to strike a balance between the sweet and the sour, and therein lies the trick.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices bacon
1 cabbage, large head, cored and shredded
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 pinch salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup white vinegar (or to taste)
1/2 cup white sugar (or to taste)

  • Lay two slices of bacon across the bottom of a large pot.
  • Cover with a layer of cabbage.
  • Sprinkle a light dusting of flour and a pinch of caraway seed.
  • Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Repeat layering as many times as possible until you run out of room.
  • Fill the pot with enough water to come about 3/4 up the side.

  • Let cool slightly, then stir in the vinegar and sugar.
  • Use your own judgment. Add sugar carefully to taste. The idea is to strike a balance between the sweet and the sour, and therein lies the trick.
  • Note:.
  • Use a head of cabbage that has been in your refrigerator a while; try not to use a new cabbage. Why? The old one seems to hold up better in the cooking. Age has its rewards.
  • A tasty sausage, sliced, or smoked pork hock can also substitute for the bacon, but there ought to be some flavor and fat in it. I sometimes add a couple of bouillon cubes too.
