1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons caraway or cumin seed

Add the vinegar, keeping your head back from the hot pot, brown sugar, stock, and water, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until cabbage is very tender and soup has thickened. Stir the bacon bits back in, then adjust the salt to your taste.

Roasted Venison Loin with Braised Red Cabbage, Sweet German Potato Noodles, and Juniper Berry Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 pound venison loin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
I tablespoon juniper berries
2 tablespoons butter
3 ounces chopped shallots
Sunflower oil
1/4 cup Calvados
1/4 cup cognac
1 cup venison demiglace
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons double cream
1 tablespoon crushed juniper berries
Creme de cassis, for finishing
Banyuls vinegar, for finishing
3 ounces sugar
2 cups red wine
1/4 bottle port wine
7 white peppercorns
3 cloves
1 bay leaf
1/2 (3-inch) stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt
Grated zest and juice from 3 oranges
1 1/2 heads red cabbage, sliced
8 ounces Yukon gold potatoes
Rock salt, for roasting
Scant 1/2 cup cornstarch
1 egg yolk
Butter, for searing
Walnuts, roasted and crushed, for garnish
2 ounces fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Port wine

Steps:

  • To make the venison:
  • Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F.
  • Heat the sunflower oil in a roasting pan. Season the venison with salt and pepper, and sear it until it's nicely colored and caramelized. Roast until it's medium rare; an instant read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees. Transfer the meat to a board and let rest so the juices can settle. Spoon off the fat from the pan drippings. Add the bay leaf, rosemary, juniper berries, and butter. Return the meat to the pan and begin spooning the butter and meat juices over the meat to bring to medium.
  • To make the sauce:
  • Cook the shallots in a small amount of oil until they're softened but haven't taken on any color. Deglaze the pan with the Calvados and cognac. Add the venison glace and double cream and cook to reduce somewhat. Add juniper berries. Finish with cassis and vinegar to taste. Strain through a fine sieve.
  • To make the cabbage:
  • In a saucepan, heat the sugar on medium heat until it caramelizes. Add red wine and port and stir to dissolve into the caramel. Add the peppercorns, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, and a little salt, orange juice and zest. Put the cabbage in a bowl, pour the marinade on top, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
  • To make the potato noodles:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the potatoes on a bed of rock salt and roast until soft. Peel the potatoes, break them open, and let the moisture steam out. Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer. Mix in the cornstarch and egg yolk to make a dough. Form the dough into little noodles by rolling it between the palms of your hands. Blanch the noodles in boiling salted water until done. Drain.
  • Sear the potato noodles in a hot skillet with a little butter until they're golden brown. Sprinkle with walnuts.
  • To make the cranberries: In a large bowl, toss the cranberries with the sugar and a dash of port wine to taste.

SWEET AND SOUR GERMAN RED CABBAGE



Sweet and Sour German Red Cabbage image

This is another of my recipes for Oktoberfest, and our family usually has it for either Thanksgiving or Christmas also. It is a traditional German dish that my mother made all the time for our family. It is so delightfully simple and tasty.

Provided by Pam Ellingson

Categories     Vegetables

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 large red cabbage, coarsely chopped
2 to 3 Tbsp oil
1/2 c water (divided use)
1/2 small apple, peeled, cored and chopped (optional)
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
1/4 c sugar
3-4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Remove outer leaves of cabbage if wilted or damaged. Cut head in half, remove hard core and shred/chop coarsely as for a rough coleslaw.
  • 2. Heat oil in either a 12 inch skillet or a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add chopped cabbage and stir well to cover with oil. Saute cabbage until it begins to get limp, stirring occasionally. Add optional chopped apple if using. Add 1/4 cup of water to pan and cover to steam cabbage til almost tender.
  • 3. Remove cover and let any moisture evaporate. Reduce heat to medium. Add and melt the butter. Add flour and stir until incorporated. Cook for a minute or two to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • 4. Measure vinegar into cup with remaining 1/4 cup water, add to cabbage along with sugar. Stir well.
  • 5. Stir until flour/butter/water/vinegar/sugar mixture has thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. This dish takes a fair amount of salt to bring out the sweet and sour flavor. I use about 1/2 tsp or more, but you will need to adjust to your taste.
  • 6. Keep warm and serve with your favorite meat dish. This is particularly good with roast chicken or turkey, beef roast or pork chops/cutlets.

SWEET-SOUR RED CABBAGE-GERMAN

I got this out of my (wedding gift) 1973 Betty Crocker Cookbook. I have been making it for years. My mother in law is German and she can't believe I didn't get this out of a German cookbook.

GERMAN ROTKOHL - SPICED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES AND WINE



German Rotkohl - Spiced Red Cabbage With Apples and Wine image

Our family favorite Rotkohl dish, in the traditional German style (with a few flourishes)! Delicious!! Red cabbage, apples, aromatic spices and wine---this dish is sure to please! Wonderful served with holiday roast turkey, beef, or ham dishes -or- with bratwurst, weisswurst or wienerwurst sausages. Tip: For a delicious & traditional European feast serve the Rotkohl with German Meatballs recipe #106298, Beef Rouladen recipe #344842, Bavarian Sauerbraten recipe #409947, Wiener Schnitzel recipe #459188, or Swedish Meatballs, along with boiled new potatoes or buttered spaetzle noodles sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley. A great make-ahead dish that freezes & reheats beautifully, and actually tastes best after flavors have had a chance to marry (a day or two after cooking). I like to make two batches at a time, one for now and one to freeze for future meals. I hope you enjoy as much as we do. As my mother made it, with adaptations from the book "Aquavit and the New Scandinavian Cuisine" by James Beard Award-Winning Chef Marcus Samuelsson.

Categories     Apple

Time 1h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup chopped pork fat or 1/4 cup chopped bacon
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 large red cabbage, tough outer leaves removed, quartered, cored, and finely shredded
1 sprig fresh marjoram
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ruby port or 1/2 cup madeira wine
1/2 cup brown sugar or 1/2 cup real maple syrup
1 bay leaf (optional)
1 whole clove (optional)
1 firm apple, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pork fat or bacon in a large skillet or dutch oven over low heat, stirring occasionally until it has rendered its fat, about 20 minutes for the pork fat or 10 minutes for the bacon.
  • Add the onion, ginger, and cinnamon stick, increase the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the onion has softened.
  • Add the cabbage, stirring and cooking over medium heat until some of the bits are slightly browned and caramelized, about 10 minutes (I do this in batches). Note: You can skip the browning step if you are in a hurry, but I find that it adds a particularly wonderful caramelized flavor to the finished dish. Now add the marjoram, garam masala, vinegar, and port or Madeira, and stir well. (Note: At this point add the optional bay leaf, whole clove, and chopped apple).
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring occasionally to make sure the cabbage is not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove the lid and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the brown sugar (or maple syrup) and cook for 15 minutes longer, or until most of the liquid has cooked away.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf before serving.
  • NOTE: If you can't find garam masala, use just a small dash each of ground black pepper, rock salt, cinnamon, & cardomom.

VEGAN STYLE ROTKOHL (GERMAN RED CABBAGE)



Vegan Style Rotkohl (German Red Cabbage) image

Veggies shouldn't have to miss out on German yumminess. This is a veganized post from "Cooking the German Way" e-book-- it originally called for 2 strips of bacon and cooking the onions in the bacon fat, but it says in the footnote that if you don't want to add bacon, simply use 2 TB butter or oil to cook the onions. If you don't have whole cloves, 1/4 tsp ground cloves = about 3 cloves but it's not recommended. I am otherwise copying the recipe as is, including the description: "This tangy, bright-colored side dish is delicious with beef, pork, or wild game. It does not go well with chicken or fish. The vinegar, with its natural acid, preserves the vivid color of the red cabbage. Leftover red cabbage can be chilled and served as a salad."

  • 3. The original recipe also calls for 2 Tbsp of bacon drippings and for brown sugar not Splenda brown sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to finely shred the cabbage. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the cabbage. This will prevent it from steaming instead of browning.
  • Cook the cabbage over medium heat. This will help it caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Add a little bit of sugar to the cabbage while it's cooking. This will help balance out the bitterness of the cabbage.
  • Serve the cabbage hot or cold. It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Red cabbage is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it has a slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with sweet and sour ingredients. Whether you're making a traditional German dish or something more modern, red cabbage is a great choice. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give red cabbage a try!
