SWEET AND SOUR CABBAGE

Ingredients

1–2 Tbsp oil

1 onion, diced

approximately 1 lb (450 grams) shredded cabbage

2 apples, shredded

1/4 cup sugar, or to taste

juice of 1 lemon (approximately 3 Tbsp juice)

1 tsp salt, or to taste

dash pepper

handful of golden raisins
Directions

Sauté onion in oil until golden. Add cabbage and continue sautéing on a low flame for approximately 10–15 minutes. Add apples and remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, for additional 15 minutes. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold.

Note

Cooking this dish for just 1/2 hour assures that you have the right balance between crunchy and soft. If you prefer a softer texture, cook for 1–1 1/2 hours. You might have to add a little water. This recipe works well with purple cabbage, too.

Tip

This dish can be frozen, although it will soften considerably afterwards.
