This comes out FORKING DELICIOUS! This recipe was inspired by a Bavarian style braised cabbage recipe from Food & Wine Magazine. I changed up the recipe and the amount of ingredients a bit and came up with something FORKING delicious that I will make over and over again. Portions are hard to judge because everyone likes a different amount and sizes of a cabbage do differ greatly. For me my medium sized cabbage made 6 generously sized side portions.
Ingredients for around 6 portions
1 cabbage – core removed, rough cut in around I+1/2 inch squares
1 + 1/2 medium onion – sliced thin
2 small apples – core removed, sliced thin
3 garlic cloves – ground to paste
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 orange – just the zest
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 juniper berries – ground in spice grinder
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Set oven to 350 degrees F.
In an extra large mixing bowl add the garlic, oil, sugar, wine, vinegar, zest, caraway, cinnamon, juniper berries, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add the cabbage, onions, and apples and mix well. Pour this mixture out in a thin layer on sheet pans. Place on middle racks. Leave the pans in the oven till the ends of cabbage get crispy. (around 40 minutes…could be more or less depending on oven or cut on cabbage(
Enjoy!
