Red Cabbage
- 1 head red cabbage
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 c. beef consomme
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings
- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 1 c. red wine
- 2 Tbsp. wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
- Remove outer cabbage leaves and core. Cut the cabbage into quarters and then into medium-fine slices as you would for slaw. In a large saucepan, heat the bacon drippings and add the onion and carrots. Saute approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the cabbage and toss well so that it's lightly coated with bacon fat.
- Mix in consomme, wine, bay leaf, apples, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve in individual preheated side dishes.
