We had about eight red cabbages growing in our garden, and I’ve made the same thing with every one so far: braised red cabbage with apples. I just can’t get enough of it. Sometimes, I use red wine as the braising liquid but this time I used beer and it was even better. In Germany, they’d serve this with sausages, but the closest I’ve come is some vegetarian smoked apple sausage (Field Roast – the only brand I like, and the least processed).
Some optional additions you might like include 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds (add when you add the cabbage), 1 or 2 tablespoons brown sugar (add with the apples), or 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (add at the end.)
By the way, I have two more cabbages still in the ground. Let me know if you have any recipe suggestions that don’t involve apples and alcohol!
