    Red cabbage and apples is a better version when pickled in vinegar like sauerk. It's sweet and less sour and super refreshing. No onions in it either. It's bangin', better than warm red cabbage and apples by a mile. It's so much more refreshing. See till can use it as a side with pork chops

    Soak the onions and ginger in ice cold water for an hour. It removed that gaseous burn children don't like and milds it out. Add a drizzle of honey. That sweetens it up. And alongside a knife a mortar and pestle or a molcahete. Happy cooking!

    Thank you for this great recipe. I never thought of adding apples to sweet-sour cabbage. However, when my children were small, they used to insist on trying the foods mentioned in "Farmer Boy," the story of Almanzo Wilder. They would eat anything if it was something that Almanzo ate. We all loved fried apples 'n' onions, and still do.

    Pro tip: if you feel like your cast iron takes too long to heat up on the stove, put it in a cold oven and preheat to 375°F. By the time you finish your mise en place, the oven will have reached temperature, and your cast iron will be prime for cooking. =)

    You're doing it wrong, dear.
    Cabbage goes first and not into butter, but goose lard. You put half an onion with cloves and bay leaves stuck into it in the cabbage, some salt and simmer it for 2-3 hours until the cabbage turns soft and creamy.
    Shortly before it is done you remove the half onion, fry the diced onions in a pan with again some goose lard until they become glossy. If they turn brownish, throw that away and repeat.
    The apple(s) are best, if you grate them finely and add that to the cabbage.
    30 more minutes of slow simmering and it is done. You can add some starch in water to get the sauce creamy as well.
    This is how they do it in Bavaria, where this recipe comes from originally.
    It is very important to not fry the onions in the pot and then ading the cabbage, because it will make it bitter in the end. Same goes for later fried onions that turned brownish.
    You're welcome.

    Any canners out there? I bet you could make a batch and can it but what would you use as a liquid. Doesn’t seem to be much liquid left after braiding … you could do a small pot OD just the liquid … thoughts?

    Would love to know the size and make of the knife you're using in this video. Looks like a 9 or 10 inch Santoku but I know some chef's knives how have grantons too. What is the brand. I can actually hear how good it is. 🙂

    I make this dish on a regular basis! A couple thoughts. First, I recommend using a mandolin with the thinnest blade setting. The end texture is by far the best. Even when I do my best to make uniform angel hair ribbons with a chef’s knife, they just can’t quite match the texture I get from the mandolin. Second, I do recommend the addition of a pinch of clove, a pinch of caraway, and a pinch of celery seed. Go easy on all three, but you’ll be happy you added them. Finally, I add a knob of butter at the very end.
