Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 kg red cabbage
  • 1 apple sweet
  • 1 onion small

Spices

  • 5 cloves whole
  • 5 green cardamom whole
  • 5 g cinnamon whole
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 bay leaves laurel
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Liquids

  • 100 ml white wine
  • 2 tbsp balsamico vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

  • Dice the cabbage, onion and apple. Warm up oil in a pot at medium heat. Toss in the diced vegetables. Stir in sugar, pepper and salt. Let it roast a bit while stiring frequently.
  • The whole spices go into a tea filter and then into the cabbage. Give in the vinegar and white wine. Reduce the heat to a low simmering point.
  • Let it rest like this for at least an hour. Stir properly here and there and make sure that there is always a little bit of liquid at the bottom. We don't want the cabbage to burn. Add water if needed little by little.
  • The more time you give it to rest, the smoother the texture will get and the better the taste distributes. One hour is the bare minimum.
