Norwegian Christmas Cabbage image

Norwegian Christmas Cabbage is essentially a kind of sweet and sour sauerkraut, spiced with caraway seeds.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices bacon
1 large head cabbage, cored and shredded
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
½ cup white vinegar, or to taste
½ cup white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Lay two slices of bacon across the bottom of a large pot. Cover with a layer of cabbage. Sprinkle a light dusting of flour and a pinch of caraway seed. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat layering as many times as possible until you run out of room.
  • Fill the pot with enough water to come about 3/4 up the side. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 45 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly, then stir in the vinegar and sugar. Use your own judgment. Add sugar carefully to taste. The idea is to strike a balance between the sweet and the sour, and therein lies the trick.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cabbage turned out mushy.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but this dish was surprisingly good. The gravy was especially flavorful.

This dish was a disappointment. The cabbage was tough and the gravy was bland.

I've been making this dish for years and it's always a family favorite. The cabbage is always tender and the gravy is always rich and flavorful.

The cabbage was a bit bland for my taste, but the gravy was delicious. I added some extra salt and pepper to the cabbage and it was much better.

This traditional Norwegian dish was a hit at our Christmas dinner. The cabbage was tender and flavorful, and the gravy was rich and creamy. We will definitely be making this again next year!
