Dutch Red Cabbage Revelation image

My (Dutch) mother's recipe for "Hollandse Rode Kool". Previously, I never thought of cabbage as exciting, so much as something to be endured. But no longer! This dish is tangy and delicious with a lovely tender consistency; even the kids love it. And it's healthy! And a beautiful vivid red.

Time 40m

Yield 1 huge pile, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium head red cabbage, finely sliced
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup onion, chopped or finely sliced
2 sliced apples
3 -4 tablespoons vinegar
1/3 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper (lots!)
1/4 cup blackberry jam

Steps:

  • For the apples, green or Fuji work well. Get something that doesn't disintegrate when cooked. For the vinegar, cider is good, but basic white vinegar is fine. For the jam, raspberry, plum, etc makes a fine substitute. Also, my mom puts in some chopped candied ginger for zing.
  • Saute the cabbage in the butter, turning often, for 10-15 minutes. A wok is good if you have a lid for it.
  • Add the sugar, onion, apples, and cook for another 5min. It should be all wilted now.
  • Add the rest, COVER, and simmer slowly for another 20min or so. Be sure to periodically turn it so it doesn't scorch. In the end, it will all be pretty much the same bright purplish red color.
  • This dish is hard to mess up; it still tastes okay mildly scorched. :) It's yummy served hot or cold, but I prefer warm. And it keeps for many days in the fridge.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cabbage turned out mushy. I think I cooked it for too long.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of apples. Next time I'll try using a tart Granny Smith apple.

I've never been a fan of red cabbage, but this recipe changed my mind. The sweetness of the apples and the tang of the vinegar balanced each other out perfectly. I'll be making this again soon.
