Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg red cabbage ((2.2 lb))
2 dl vinegar ((3/4 cup))
1.5 dl currant juice or elderberry juice ((2/3 cup))
150 g sugar ((5 oz))
1 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Step 1: Finely shred the red cabbage and make sure that the pieces are not too long. Put the shredded red cabbage in a large sauce pan.
  • Step 2: Pour the vinegar in the sauce pan, turn on the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir in the cabbage regularly so that it doesn't burn to the bottom of the sauce pan.
  • Step 3: Add the juice, sugar and salt to the sauce pan and let it simmer for another 30 minutes or until it has the right consistency. The consistency is basically up to you - the longer you cook it the softer you will get the red cabbage.
  • Step 4: Clean some glass jars using boiling water. This will kill all bacteria so that the red cabbage will last longer. Pour the red cabbage onto the jars and seal them right away. Keep the jars refrigerated.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium red cabbage (about 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar or more, according to taste
1/4 cup vinegar
Salt, pepper
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped (optional)
1/2 cup red currant jelly

Steps:

  • Remove and discard tough outer leaves from cabbage. Shred cabbage very fine. In heavy kettle, melt butter. Add sugar, but do not brown. Add cabbage and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add vinegar, water, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer covered for 2-3 hours, or until cabbage is very tender. Stir occasionally, and if necessary, add a little hot water to prevent scorching. When cabbage is almost tender, add apples, if desired, and red currant jelly. Cabbage should be quite sweet-sour. If necessary, add more sugar or vinegar, a little at a time. Simmer covered for 30 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Serve with roast goose or duck. This is best if made a day ahead, and reheated slowly.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For braising, select a firm, dense cabbage. Avoid heads that are loose or have wilted leaves.
  • Cut the cabbage evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the cabbage into uniform pieces. Remove the core and cut the cabbage into quarters, then slice each quarter into thin strips.
  • Brown the cabbage: Before braising, brown the cabbage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. This caramelizes the cabbage and adds depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is essential for adding flavor to the cabbage. Use a combination of broth, water, and spices, such as bay leaves, juniper berries, and caraway seeds.
  • Simmer until tender: Braise the cabbage until it is tender and flavorful, about 1 hour. Keep the pot covered and maintain a gentle simmer. Adding a dollop of butter at the end for a richer flavor.
  • Serve with accompaniments: Braised cabbage is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of accompaniments. Popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted pork, or a dollop of sour cream.

Braised cabbage is a simple yet satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its tender texture and rich flavor, this dish is sure to please even the pickiest eaters. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this Danish braised cabbage recipe a try!
