Rotkraut image

This recipe for rotkraut, a tart dish of pickled red cabbage simmered with warm spices in a dry red wine, came to The Times from Debbie Himmler of Cincinnati. The dish, a nod to her grandparents' German heritage, makes regular appearances on her family's Thanksgiving table, but can be served year round. It's best prepared a day or two ahead, and also freezes well - a real boon if you're planning a big meal. Just reheat it in a covered saucepan on the stove the day you plan to serve it.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head red cabbage (about 2 pounds), halved, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup burgundy (or other dry red wine)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of cayenne pepper
Dash of ground cloves
2 bay leaves
2 tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Cortland), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Steps:

  • Combine cabbage, wine, brown sugar, salt, cayenne, cloves, bay leaves and apples in a large pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the vinegar, then add to the pot along with the butter; stir until butter is melted. Simmer, uncovered, 20 more minutes, or until most of the liquid has cooked off and cabbage is very tender. Remove bay leaves before serving.
