Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, heavy head of red cabbage with tightly packed leaves.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cabbage from sticking.
  • Brown the bacon before adding the cabbage: This will add a smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Add a variety of spices: Ground cloves, juniper berries, and caraway seeds are all classic additions to braised red cabbage.
  • Simmer the cabbage until it is tender: This will take about 1 hour, depending on the thickness of your slices.
  • Serve the cabbage warm: It can be served as a side dish or main course.

Braised red cabbage is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal.
