Ingredients
- 1.5 kg red cabbage
- 150 g red onion
- 80 g lard
- 150 ml vinegar
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
Steps
- 1Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, then quarter it. Cut out the core, then slice the cabbage into thin strips.
- 2Finely chop the red onion. In a pot, heat 60 g of lard, add the onion and sauté until translucent. Sprinkle in the caraway seeds, and stirring frequently, fry the onion until light golden brown.
- 3Add the cabbage, mix it, then push it aside slightly so the bottom of the pot is visible. Sprinkle in the sugar and caramelize it in the fat for a short time. As soon as the sugar starts to brown, thoroughly mix it with the cabbage.
- 4Salt it, pour in the vinegar, and mix thoroughly. Cover, reduce the heat to minimum, and braise the cabbage until tender. Stir occasionally and replace the lid.
- 5Once the cabbage is tender, remove the lid, increase the heat, and fry for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining lard, which will give the dish a silky taste and a beautiful shine.
