Braised Red Cabbage (German Rotkohl)

Recipe By :Janet Wilder - adapted
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time 1:30
Categories : Side Dishes Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons bacon grease, butter or other fat
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
1 inch fresh ginger -- peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cinnamon stick -- Mexican
1 small red cabbage -- tough outer leaves removed,
quartered, cored, and finely shredded
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
pinch black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup brown sugar -- I used Splenda blend
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 lemon -- juiced

Heat the bacon grease or fat in a large pan that has a cover.

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, marjoram, black pepper, cinnamon, vinegar, brown sugar
and Marsala, and stir well. Add the bay leaf, whole clove, and apple sauce.

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.

If the liquid cooks away, add a little water.

15 minutes before it is done, taste for sweet and sour and add lemon
juice in the amount necessary

Remove the cinnamon stick and serve.

NOTES : The recipe calls for Madiera or Port, but all I had was Marsala
and it worked well.

MARSALA, nb, MARSALA! You put masala in rotkohl and Victor will fly to your

And how! But I will do the same - and more - for anyone daring use
Madeira, Port, or Marsala in any German red cabbage recipe, too!
Unerhöhrt!

Does the genuine recipe require any wine? If so, which wine would be
appropriate?

BTW, we finished the leftover red cabbage yesterday. It was even yummier
after sitting in the fridge a couple of days.

Every year after Passover, there is an almost full bottle of kosher
Manischewitz Red Concord Wine left over in my home. It is the best wine
to use for Red Cabbage, whether you make it from scratch or gussy up the
contents of a jar of Red Cabbage. It is also the only way to get rid of
this left over wine, unless you pour it down the kitchen sink or the
toilet bowl. )

If wine is used at all, it is dry red wine. Red cabbage is sweetish by
nature and some sugar is often added, so there is really no need to add
still more sugar in the guise of sweet wine.

Why, for heavens' sake?! There are any number of drinkable kosher wines
on the market nowadays. Some perfectly good Israeli kosher wines can be
bought at one of my regular groceries any day of the week.

Why not eat a sweet cake instead?

The best way to get rid of it is to let someone else buy it and drink,
or otherwise dispose of it, somewhere else.

maybe it's like sweet potatoes and little teeny marshmallows. just part of
the holiday that you wouldn't even think of eating any other time.

also for people who don't really drink wine.
