SO HOW'D IT GO?
I enjoyed this and it was a big hit at a party my family and I had for Oktoberfest. This is a great side, Autumn-y dish. I added some more cinnamon and cider vinegar the second time I made it and I also added raisins.
This was good. However, I changed it a lot like the other users....
I used balsamic vinegar, added raisins and pine nuts and some agave nectar. I grew up eating fried sweet cabbage, so I like it with a little added sweetener.
This was a promising idea, but lacked taste. So I made it again, and this time I used quite a bitmore vinegar and an extra apple, plus a couple of dessertspoonfuls of raisins, a dessertspoonful of honey and a generous dash of cinammon. Also some seasoning. Wow! What a transformation! So good that now we are going to serve this with Christmas dinner!
samiwolf - i prepared this recipe using your suggestions. But instead of honey, I used agave nectar and I omitted the raisins. It was so delicious! My husband couldn't stop raving. I served it with Tofurky Kielbasa sausage, baked sweet potato and some steamed spinach. One of the best vegan meals I have made to date! Thanks to spookychicken for posting this and to samiwolf for your modifications!
i love red cabbage as a fall side dish. ive always made it with red cabbage, cidar vinager, 1/2 of a granny smith apple chopped, and a couple tablespoons of organic blackberry jam. yum!
