3. Red Cabbage and Its Regional Names
Rotkohl, blue cabbage is the North German name, Rotkraut is said in Central Germany and also Austria, Blaukraut is said in Southern Germany to this delicious cabbage.
The cabbage is a classic and typical side dish to a festive or Sunday roast, for example Sauerbraten or Roulades
Personally, I also like to eat vegetarian and leave out the animal ingredients when preparing red cabbage.
Great tastes the cabbage in the bourgeois variant for me also to dumplings of all kinds and potatoes.
Raw, the cabbage is also super – so in the warm season as a salad or part of a Buddhabowl, see my red cabbage salad.
Below I show you the classic way of preparing it, as it is most beautiful for Christmas goose.
The cabbage is best fresh, but if it should go fast, it may also be the cabbage from the jar or the freezer.
This then please enhance to taste with the mentioned aromatics and apples / apple compote.
4. Safely Cut Red Cabbage
Before the preparation comes the cabbage cutting. Please use a well laid cutting board and a sharp knife.
The slicer is an option after cutting in half. A well laid cutting board will not wobble.
You can put a tea towel under it. For cutting, use a large chef’s knife.
Cabbage you can cut or slice, cut the cabbage finely, then it tastes better.
Tip from Chef Thomas Sixt
5. Boil Down Red Cabbage Begins with Marinating
The marinating of the cabbage is done the day before, with a marinating time overnight.
This allows the flavors to develop perfectly.
Knead the cabbage with the spices and additions, of course, without onions, cloves and bay leaf.
Soft kneaded cabbage tastes better later!
The cooking time of the cabbage is at least 2 hours, better a little longer (matter of taste: either cabbage with a slight bite or very creamy cooked).
Pour vegetable broth into the finely chopped or shredded cabbage.
Add coarsely diced fresh apples or applesauce, cranberries, white wine, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.
Knead the blue cabbage lovingly and strongly. Kneading with salt makes the cabbage soft!
