German Braised Red Cabbage
Sweet, tender, braised red cabbage is a recent discovery of ours and a new favorite. Pictured above front and center, it was a star in our Christmas buffet this year. The sheer fact that this is so incredibly easy to make makes this German Braised Red Cabbage is worth sharing…often!
Ingredients
- 2 oz bacon chopped
- ½ medium onion diced
- pinch kosher salt
- 4 c shredded red cabbage
- ½ c dry red wine
- ½ c apple juice
- 1 T honey
- 1 dried bay leaf
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 apple peeled, cored, and quartered
Instructions
- In a large skillet with a lid, cook the bacon until crisp. Add the onion and salt, and saute until the onions are lightly browned. Add the cabbage and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the red wine and juice and deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 hours. Add more apple juice if the level of liquid gets too low. Serve warm.
