BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

1 large red cabbage, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin strips

About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES (ROT KRAUT MIT ÄPFELN)



Red Cabbage With Apples (Rot Kraut Mit Äpfeln) image

For 100 years, Lüchow's was NYC's landmark German restaurant; it closed in 1982. This recipe is from "Lüchow's German Cookbook" (1952). My ancestors immigrated to the U.S. from Germany, and settled in Brooklyn and Queens. When I was a child, for special occasions my grandmother would make Sauerbraten served with with dumplings and a red cabbage like this. The sweet-sour taste, the deep red color - these had special appeal to me as a child. This is my comfort food - to this day it conjures happy forty-year-old memories of sitting in my grandmother's crowded kitchen on a festive Sunday afternoon.

RED CABBAGE AND APPLE SAUERKRAUT



Red Cabbage and Apple Sauerkraut image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     condiment

Time P7DT2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head red cabbage (about 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons pickling salt, plus more as needed
2 Granny Smith apples
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1 teaspoon allspice berries

Steps:

  • Remove any loose leaves from the cabbage head and reserve. Quarter the cabbage and thinly slice, on a mandoline if you have one. (The shreds should be about the thickness of a quarter.) Toss the cabbage in a large bowl with the pickling salt. Work the cabbage through your hands and massage for a minute or two, until the cabbage begins to "sweat" and release some water.
  • Thinly slice, then julienne the green apple, leaving the peel on. (Again, use a mandoline if you have one.) Slice the ginger into coins and press with the side of your knife to bruise them slightly and release their oils. Add the apples, ginger and allspice berries to the cabbage and toss well. Let sit for an hour or two, until the cabbage has released quite a bit of water.
  • Pack the cabbage mixture into a large, wide-mouthed crock and press down very firmly until the liquid the cabbage has released covers it. (Depending on the age of your cabbage, it may release less water; a fresher cabbage will release a lot of water, while a cabbage that has been stored all winter will release less.) If the cabbage is not covered, mix together 1 quart cold water and 4 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt until dissolved and pour over enough to cover the cabbage.
  • Use a couple of the reserved whole cabbage leaves to cover the surface of the cabbage. Cover with a plate (or the weight provided, if you have a fermenting crock) and set something heavy on top to weight it. (You can use cans. Many people like to use a resealable plastic bag filled with the same salted water solution used above because it weights evenly and if it leaks, it doesn't ruin the fermentation process.) Store the crock in a cool, dry place.
  • Check the kraut after 2 days. There should be a few bubbles around the sides. Skim any scum that has risen to the surface. Check the kraut every few days and repeat skimming, if needed. Depending on the temperature of your room, the kraut should be ready after about a week. (Some people ferment for a couple of weeks or more, depending on how funky they want their kraut to be.)
  • Divide the kraut and pack into jars. Store in the refrigerator. Drain and rinse the kraut well (discarding any ginger pieces) before using.

ROTKRAUT



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.
