Blaukraut (Red Cabbage) image

This recipe was given to me by my German sister-in-law. It goes really well with the Rouladen recipe I have also published. The vinegar ensures that the lovely red colour of the cabbage remains as it cooks. Enjoy.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 red cabbage
1 onion, finely sliced
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 cup water
2 cloves
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon sugar
1 apple, finely sliced, granny smith is good
1 teaspoon flour
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon red wine (Merlot works well)

Steps:

  • Cut cabbage very finely. Heat oil in pan, add onion and cabbage and cook gently. Before cabbage collapses add vinegar to keep the red colour.
  • Add a cup of water (or you can add some wine too), sugar, cloves, bay leaf. Put lid on pot and cook at low heat until cabbage is soft (about 1 hour and 30 minutes). Keep checking as it cooks to make sure you have enough liquid all the time. Season with salt.
  • Half and hour before ready, add finely cut apple.
  • When liquid is nearly cooked out, add flour.
  • Give it a good whisk and heat up for short time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover red cabbage. I always have some leftover after making coleslaw, and this is a great way to use it up.
