This recipe needs only a few basic ingredients and only requires only a little \u2018active\u2019 preparation. Most of the preparation is the braising which happens over a low heat and requires only occasional attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin of red cabbage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some sources say it originated in Europe, others say Germany, but it was first described in England in the 14th century. Some sugar accelerates the caramelization of the onions in this dish and the vinegar helps retain their colour and bright and shiny appearance while adding tartness to the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best way to cut red cabbage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are no rules when it comes to cutting the cabbage for braising. Thinly or coarsely sliced is fine either by hand or with the use of a mandoline<\/a>. Thinly sliced cabbage will need less braising, but we like it more coarsely.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can braised red cabbage be frozen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We like to prepare enough to freeze one or two portions for a future dinner. Once ready, allow the cabbage to cool completely, portion it without an excess of cooking juices, and freeze for up to three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
