It's good winter food\(emvery satisfying on a cold nasty day. My only caveat is to use a *large* skillet, or halve the recipe. I cooked a full batch and had cabbage overflowing onto the stove. .IH "serves 8" .IG "3 lbs" "red cabbage" "1.5 kg" .IG "4-6 Tbsp" "bacon fat or butter" "60-80 g" .IG "1" "onion," finely chopped .IG "1 cup" "dry red wine" "250 ml" .IG "2" "tart apples" cored & diced (not peeled) .IG "2 Tbsp" "brown sugar" "30 ml/20 g" .IG "1 Tbsp" "wine vinegar" "15 ml" .IG "\(12 tsp" "caraway seeds" "2.5 ml" .PH .SK 1 Discard the outer leaves of a firm, .AB "3-lb" "1.5-kg" red cabbage and cut it in half. Shred finely and soak in salted water for 15 minutes. Drain well. .SK 2 Heat the bacon fat or butter in a large heavy skillet and add 1 finely chopped onion. Cook onion until transparent, about 5 minutes, then add cabbage. Toss well with two wooden spoons, as you would a salad. When cabbage starts to wilt, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and red wine. .SK 3 Simmer for 5 minutes and then add 2 tart apples, cored and diced, but not peeled. Sprinkle with brown sugar, and add wine vinegar and caraway seeds. .SK 4 Cover, with lid slightly askew, and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes. Serves 8, and is good hot or cold. .SH RATING .I Difficulty: easy. .I Time: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes cooking. .I Precision: no need to measure. .WR Enjoy!
