Categories     Cooking Tips and How Tos

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small white cabbage (or 2/3 medium sized, just over 1 lb)
2/3 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar*
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp caraway seeds (plus a pinch more for garnish)
1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt (to taste)
white pepper (to taste)
3-4 slices bacon (thick-cut, lean, smoked), optional
2 tsp chopped flat leaf parsley, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Shred the cabbage and place in a heat proof bowl. 2. Combine vegetable stock (or water), vinegar, sugar and caraway seeds in a small saucepan and bring to boil. Remove from heat, stir to make sure the sugar has dissolved and pour over the cabbage. Allow 15 minutes of soaking time, occasionally turning the cabbage around using kitchen tongs. 3. Optional step. While the cabbage is soaking cut the bacon into thin strips and cook in pan over medium heat to render the fat, until crispy. Place over paper towel lined plate to absorb extra fat, 4. After 15 minutes transfer the cabbage from the bowl with the vinegar liquid to a serving bowl. Be sure to drain it and discard the vinegar liquid. Add the olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss. 5. Optional step. Sprinkle with a few extra caraway seeds, chopped parsley and bacon. Serve.

BAVARIAN SAUERKRAUT



Bavarian Sauerkraut image

This recipe has to be the best tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage as a general rule and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be quite sour depending on how it is prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit, since it was pulled from a collection of hand-written recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical 'sour' sauerkraut recipe.

COLD SAUERKRAUT SALAD



Cold Sauerkraut Salad image

We always shared our Fourth of July celebration with my aunt and uncle. Besides the hot dogs, hamburgers and Uncle Bob's steamed clams, my aunt always had something new for us to try-like this unusual salad. Like my aunt, you may have to coax others to try it at first...but you'll have a hard time keeping them from taking a second helping.
