NORTH CROATIAN RED CABBAGE STEW

Steps:

• Slice the cabbage into 1 cm wide stripes.
• Melt sugar on lard until brown (caramel).
• Add wine, cabbage, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook gently until sugar melts (when you add wine sugar will become hard - do not worry - it will melt).
• Add water to prevent burning. At first you will think your pot is too small, but eventually the cabbage will get smaller.
• Cook about 45 minutes or until cabbage is soft. Eat with pork chops, sausages or BBQ.
