- Recipe for Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage
-
Mike Bennett is preparing to create 800 German-inspired dinners, which he expects to sell out at tonight’s Oktoberfest. There will be schnitzel and sausage — and one of his easy favorites, red cabbage.
Bennett makes this vegetable dish at home often because it is versatile and can be eaten with any type of dish, from German to Asian.
“Cabbage is pretty doggone flexible,” he said.
Discover your own German side in the kitchen with this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 head shredded red cabbage.
3 tablespoons sugar.
1/4 teaspoon all-spice.
1/2 cup cider vinegar.
1 cube of butter.
1/4 cup finely diced red onion.
What you do: Saute all of the ingredients together until it has a nice bite (a little bit of a crisp, and not soggy).
