Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 teaspoon ground dried chile (ancho is good)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups julenne onions
1 head cabbage, cut into julienne strips 1/4 to 12 inch wide (about 10 to 12 cups)
2 -4 unpeeled apples, cut into thin wedges (2 if large, 4 small)
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a 6 quart pot over high heat just until the oil begins to smoke, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the cabbage, apples, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and scrape up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
  • Stir in the wine, brown sugar, and the seasoning mix.
  • Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and cooked down very well, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter sauerkraut, use a sweeter variety of apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. For a more sour sauerkraut, use a more tart variety of apples, such as Braeburn or Pink Lady.
  • To make the sauerkraut ahead of time, follow the instructions up to the point of adding the apples and vinegar. Store the sauerkraut in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. When you're ready to serve, add the apples and vinegar and heat through.
  • Sauerkraut is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, a main course, or an appetizer. It can also be used as a topping for hot dogs, sausages, or burgers.
  • If you don't have any caraway seeds, you can use dill seeds or fennel seeds instead.
