BOHEMIAN SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE



Bohemian Sweet and Sour Cabbage image

This recipe is so old it could be considered "antique." It was my Grandmother's recipe. When I prepared it, I was an adult but it definitely rang childhood memory bells. I did remember the delicious taste. My Grandmother wrote out this recipe as I am reproducing it and on the recipe she noted that this dish is good with roast pork or pork chops, dumplings and applesauce. An excellent meal from Central Europe! (Bread dumplings are now available in the freezer section of the supermarket.)

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 onion, larger than a walnut, chopped
1 tablespoon shortening (or oleo)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 lbs cabbage, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seed (or to taste) (optional)
2 teaspoons flour

Steps:

  • Brown the onion in the shortening, only to a golden color. Do not brown.
  • Add the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil. (This liquid is just enough for this size cabbage.).
  • Put cabbage in; sprinkle with caraway seed if you wish.
  • Boil for 1/2 hour.
  • Sprinkle with flour. Stir it up and boil just a few seconds for the flour to dissolve.
  • Grandmother notes that you shouldn't "put cooked cabbage in the freezer -- just in box." (Box is the old-time short way of saying "icebox" -- we would say refrigerator!).

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow you to cook the cabbage in a single layer, ensuring that it cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much cabbage to the skillet, it will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the cabbage over medium-high heat: This will help it to brown and caramelize.
  • Stir the cabbage frequently: This will prevent it from burning.
  • Add the sauce to the cabbage when it is almost cooked: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve the cabbage immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour green cabbage with bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cabbage is cooked until tender and slightly caramelized, and the sweet and sour sauce adds a delicious flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
