Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 kg red cabbage
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 carnation(s)
  • 1 stalk(s) cinnamon, (alternatively ground)
  • 3 juniper berries
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 m.-sized apples
  • salt and pepper
  • possibly wine, red

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

WW-suitable, the whole pot for 2P´s

Cut the red cabbage into very fine strips, peel the onion and dice it into small cubes. Heat the oil and fry the diced onion until translucent. Add the red cabbage and fry. Now add the spices, vinegar, and apple and deglaze with water or vegetable stock – not too much, but rather a little at a time. Simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes, depending on how tender you want it. And don’t forget to stir frequently and check that there is still enough liquid, otherwise it will burn! Season with salt and pepper. The apples can be omitted, and if you prefer it a little more tart, add a little more vinegar. Deglazed with a splash of red wine, it also tastes delicious. We also like to eat the red cabbage as a cold side dish the next day, once it has had enough time to marinate.
