Traditional German Red Cabbage with Apples

Red Cabbage with Apples is a traditional side dish in many German recipes. Here in Germany, we love eating it with Beef Rolls, Sausaerbraten, and with almost anything at Christmas time!

Instructions

Prepare the cabbage

  1. Wash and remove the outer leaves. Cut into quarters and grate. I recommend using a food processor (medium or large grater) for grating. It saves a lot of time!
  2. Wash the apples, tap them dry, peel and remove not edible parts. Cut them into cubes.
  3. Peel and chop the onions.

Cook the cabbage

  1. Take the pressure cooker (or any large pot you will use) and melt the fat in it. Add the onions and apples and fry until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add grated red cabbage and fry for another minute.
  3. Pour the apple juice all over the cabbage. Add the vinegar and the spices (bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon stick).
  4. Cook for 20 minutes under pressure or for 40 minutes with a lid on.
  5. Season with sugar and salt!
