SWEET-AND-SOUR RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES AND TEMPEH



Sweet-And-Sour Red Cabbage With Apples and Tempeh image

From the October 2008 issue of Vegetarian Times. I used walnuts instead of chestnuts and it turned out great. I served this with roasted potatoes and squash, making this a delish fall meal.

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Red cabbage is the traditional choice for sweet and sour cabbage, but you can also use green cabbage or a combination of the two.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your dish different flavors and textures. Try using a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: It should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Make sure the sauce is well-balanced: The sauce should be sweet, sour, and slightly tangy. Adjust the amounts of sugar, vinegar, and lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve the cabbage warm or at room temperature: It can be served as a side dish or a main course.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour red cabbage and apples is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover cabbage and apples, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its sweet, sour, and tangy flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
