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.
