2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

Tips:

  • Select the right cabbage: Choose a firm, round head of red cabbage with deep red color. Avoid cabbages that have any signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Cut the cabbage properly: Cut the cabbage into thin strips or shreds. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cabbage from burning.
  • Add some acidity: A splash of vinegar or lemon juice will help brighten the flavor of the cabbage and balance the sweetness of the apples.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Braised red cabbage should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.

Conclusion:

Apfelrotkohl, or braised red cabbage, is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and apples, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its sweet, tangy flavor and vibrant red color, Apfelrotkohl is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
