Schnelles Weihnachtlicher Rotkohl Rezept von Steffen Henssler

Heinzler’s quick number - it’s Christmas time and today I will show you how to make the perfect red cabbage. The first thing you need is red cabbage, and you can buy it whole and cut it yourself, using a shredder or a knife. Take your time and carefully slice it into thin strips. You can also buy fresh, pre-shredded red cabbage if you prefer, as I did for this video.

Now, we need to chop a red onion into small dice. We’ll sauté the onion in butter until it’s translucent. You could use lard instead of butter, but I prefer the vegetarian option. Here comes the highlight of the recipe: marinating the red cabbage. First, add some red port wine, followed by white port wine and balsamic vinegar. Next comes the secret ingredient: a few drops of walnut oil. Add a pinch of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, and a bit of ground nutmeg, and then some apple sauce.

Now, it’s time for the orange juice and zest, and the zest and juice of one lime. Finally, add a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

To finish the dish, spread the sautéed onion and butter mixture over the red cabbage. Make sure everything is well mixed and evenly distributed. Put a lid on the pot, and let the cabbage simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes. Check and adjust the heat as necessary to ensure that the cabbage doesn’t burn.

To thicken the sauce, we’ll grate a couple of raw potatoes and add them to the dish. Mix everything together thoroughly, and simmer the cabbage for another 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is thick and luscious.

Finally, we taste the red cabbage. It has a really lovely flavor, with a hint of sweetness from the applesauce, a touch of spiciness from the black pepper, and a subtle bitterness from the red cabbage. It’s a perfect accompaniment to any roasted meat or poultry.

If you don’t have the time or the inclination to make your own red cabbage, you can buy it ready-made. Heinzler’s quick number has a limited edition Christmas version of their traditional red cabbage dish. It’s made with the same high-quality ingredients as the recipe I’ve shared with you today, and it’s available in stores now so you can enjoy it at home.

So, that’s how you make the perfect red cabbage, just in time for the holidays. If you want to try making it yourself, here’s a shopping list of the ingredients you’ll need: fresh red cabbage, sugar, salt, red port wine, white port wine, balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, apple sauce, red onion, butter, black pepper, potatoes, and lingonberry jam or sauce.

I hope you enjoy making this delicious and healthy side dish, and that it adds a festive touch to your holiday table. Happy cooking!
