German Red Cabbage

This German red cabbage is rich, tangy, and just a little bit sweet, with tender braised cabbage and subtle notes of apple throughout. It’s the kind of side dish that quietly steals the spotlight, whether you’re serving it alongside a holiday spread or a simple weeknight dinner.

Leeloo keeps the flavors balanced and the texture just right. Bobby’s contribution was mostly enthusiasm, but we’ll give him partial credit anyway.
