Braised Red Cabbage
Braised red cabbage is a festive side dish that deserves far more attention than it usually gets. We caramelise sugar with onion, then braise the cabbage with port wine and fruit juices for a pleasantly sweet-and-sour flavour. Caraway and cinnamon add a warm aroma that works especially well on the Christmas table.

Method
01.
Let the sugar caramelise in a heated pot. Once the sugar is brown and liquid, add the finely chopped onion and fry it briefly.
02.
Then pour in the port and the apple and orange juice. Season with caraway and cinnamon, add the shredded cabbage and the apples cut into cubes, season with salt and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
03.
Finally, season the cooked cabbage with apple cider vinegar and thicken it with starch mixed in water. Simmer it briefly once more.
04.
Serve the red cabbage mainly with roast duck, goose or a game roast.
