APFELROTKOH (BRAISED RED CABBAGE)

Steps:

• Thinly shred the cabbage and let it soak in a bowl of water.
• While the cabbage is soaking, chop the bacon and onion.
• Peel and core the apple, then slice it.
• Add the bacon (or vegetable oil) to a large pot and sauté until browned (or oil is heated).
• Add the onion and sauté until golden.
• Add the apple vinegar to deglaze the pan.
• Add the honey, spices, apple, and salt.
• Drain the cabbage and add to the pot, a handful at a time, stirring as you ad it until it wilts a little.
• Braise the cabbage for up to an hour and a half until the cabbage is soft. If there is liquid left, you can let the cabbage absorb the liquid.

GERMAN ROTKOHL - SPICED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES AND WINE

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.
