Writing a recipe down makes me feel a little uneasy. What if some of you try it and its completely awful and it blows apart my Stepford wife image? Freddie, who also has an alter ego because of this blog, didn't notice the carrot but loved the chorizo. He has recently adopted a statesmanlike air at the dinner table. Before this meal he uttered the words, "I'm doing this for My People."
What a good idea for a site. I'll have a look at my recipe books and see if I can find a yummy recipe.

as requested a rThis recipe might look strange to most people, but don't knock it till you tried it. This is the way my grandmother, Mit used to make it and after her my mother, Irma and now me.
ReplyDeleteI had some strange looks and comments from some the volunteers we host, about the jam. Needless to say they all succumb to the warm feeling this dish brings to their stomachs.
It is a great accompaniment for game.
Usually I prepare it in my pressure cooker, that reduces the cooking time. The cooking time stated below is for the normal pots.
Ingredients
1 red cabbage, quartered and sliced
4 large onions, chopped
1 kg appels, cored and chopped
50 gr butter or goose fat
loads of fresh thyme
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp white pepper
2 tbsp white vinegar or cider vinegar
1 jar of jam (dark fruits like blackberry or black currant)
brown sugar (optional)
salt
Preparation
Bring the cabbage, covered with cold water, to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes and drain in a colander. Cooking it like this will make the cabage more digestable.
Melt the butter or goosefat and add the onions, a layer of cabbage, appels, thyme, some cinnamon, pepper... and repeat.
Add vinegar and some water.
Leave it on a low heat for 1 to 2 hours, stirring regularly. You might have to add some water during this process to avoid the cabbage burning !
Towards the end mix in the jam and add sugar and salt to tasteecipe for cabbage
As it might not have been clear, the above recipe is for braised red cabbage. You can also find it on my blog
ReplyDeleteYour people are proud of you, Freddie!!!
