Red cabbage is not only a classic in German cuisine, but also a vitamin-rich side dish that enhances any meal. Discover our three simple tips for red cabbage: how to cut it correctly, how to cook it in a pressure cooker, and how to use the right spices.
Remove the outer leaves, halve the red cabbage, and cut out the hard core in a wedge shape. Then halve the red cabbage halves again and slice them into thin strips.
Recommendation: Cutting red cabbage is particularly quick and safe using a large chef's knife.
Does homemade red cabbage take too long? Not if you use a pressure cooker – for example, the Vitavit® Premium (4.5 l). In this cooker, the cooking time is only about 10 minutes on level 1 and only 4-5 minutes on level 2.
Choosing the right spices is crucial for the flavor. Classic ingredients like bay leaves, cloves, juniper berries, and a touch of cinnamon give red cabbage a delicate spiciness. For a fruity note, you can add grated apples or a little orange juice. Experiment with the spices to find your personal favorite.
