Braised Red Cabbage



A mainstay in Germanic kitchens, braised red cabbage is a great side dish to accompany meat

plates. After this preparation, you will have a colorful, tangy heap of cabbage without that

unpleasant cabbage smell, thanks to the caraway seeds. Use gloves while cutting and handling

the cabbage to avoid staining your hands purple.



1 head red cabbage, core and ribs removed, sliced thin (use red cabbage only)

2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons caraway seeds

1 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup red wine

Salt and pepper to taste.



1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.



2. In a heavy pan or Dutch oven, sweat the cabbage in the oil over medium heat, until moist.



3. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper to help draw out moisture.



4. Add the sugar and continue to sweat until cabbage is limp and a dark maroon color.



5. Add the caraway seeds, vinegar and wine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven.



6. Check periodically. The moisture should reduce, and the cabbage should become entirely

tender, without a crunch.



7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot or cold (to reheat, add a bit more liquid and

steam until warm).



Yield: One quart.
