Rotkraut - Red Cabbage image

Another recipe from Grandma Busch's recipe file. She served this with Sauerbraten. It is probably my favorite way to eat cabbage. Any leftover cabbage was served cold like a side salad.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb red cabbage, shredded
2 Tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
1 Tbsp sugar
2-3 tart apples
4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
kosher salt to taste
1 c red wine
3-4 whole cloves
2-3 bay leaves
1 Tbsp all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the red cabbage, remove trunk and cut into fine strips.
  • 2. Brown the sugar in the butter until light brown in color. Add the finely chopped onion and apples, peeled and cut into small cubes.
  • 3. 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.
  • 4. 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.
  • 5. At the end dust cabbage with some flour, season to taste and add some more red wine and/or vinegar if necessary.
