This is a wonderful accompaniment to any dish...German or otherwise. A sweet, tart cabbage that everyone loves. I small head red cabbage 1 medium onion 1 granny smith apple 2 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups water 1 bay leave 2 cloves 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper juice of 1/2 lemon 2-3 Tbsp flour Slice up cabbage very thin, like for slaw..julienne the onion and peel and julienne the apple. Saute' the onion and apple in the butter until onion is translucent. Add the vinegar, sugar and water and bring to a boil. Stir in the cabbage, salt, pepper bay leaf, cloves and lemon juice, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Uncover and check for doneness, then sprinkle the flour over and stir in to absorb any extra moisture. ------------- Go ahead...play with your food! |

Looks beautifully delicious and something I am going to make very soon! Spoke to Mrs Rivet and the idea of turkey schnitzel and this braised cabbage is good to go. Thanks for sharing the recipe, it sounds just like something you got to have in the cool fall evenings.  ------------- |

I just need to learn to use the stove/oven without setting myself on fire. ;)
