Vegan Style Rotkohl (German Red Cabbage) image

Veggies shouldn't have to miss out on German yumminess. This is a veganized post from "Cooking the German Way" e-book-- it originally called for 2 strips of bacon and cooking the onions in the bacon fat, but it says in the footnote that if you don't want to add bacon, simply use 2 TB butter or oil to cook the onions. If you don't have whole cloves, 1/4 tsp ground cloves = about 3 cloves but it's not recommended. I am otherwise copying the recipe as is, including the description: "This tangy, bright-colored side dish is delicious with beef, pork, or wild game. It does not go well with chicken or fish. The vinegar, with its natural acid, preserves the vivid color of the red cabbage. Leftover red cabbage can be chilled and served as a salad."

This recipe was a waste of time. The instructions were unclear and the results were inedible. I would not recommend this recipe.

This rotkohl was a disappointment. The cabbage was overcooked and the flavors were bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red cabbage. I had some leftover from a salad and I didn't want it to go to waste. I made this rotkohl and it was so good! The flavors were perfect and it was a great side dish for dinner.

I love rotkohl, but I've never tried a vegan version before. This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious! I served it with roasted potatoes and it was a perfect fall meal.

This vegan rotkohl was a hit at our holiday dinner! It had a beautiful color and a rich, tangy flavor. The cranberries and apples added a nice sweetness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
