“Rodkaal” literally means red cabbage, and it is a typical recipe from Denmark. It is the most common way this vegetable is prepared, usually served as a side dish with meat, just like the caramelized potatoes from last week. Both are very typical on Christmas meals.
Ingredients:
- 1 Red cabagge.
- 180 ml Apple cider vinegar.
- 400 ml water.
- 1 teaspoon Salt.
- 120 grams brown sugar.
- Some pepper.
- Red current jam.
Method:
1- Cut the red cabbage in half and remove the white core.
2- Cut the red cabagge into strips.
3- Put the red cabbage in a pot, add the apple cider vinegar, salt, water, sugar, and pepper. Stir well and put a lid on, leaving a small gap for the steam to escape.
Let it cook for 2 hours over medium-low heat.
4- Now it is time to add the red currant jam, stir well, and let it cook for 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
5- Boil some jars in water for one hour to sterilize them.
6- Put the red cabbage into jars, filling them almost to the top, and top them up with the cooking liquid it has released. Once it has cooled, you can store it like any preserve and consume it gradually as a side dish for any meals you like.
