Recently Crock Pot Canada sent a slow cooker for me to demo. I have not cooked with a slow cooker much so I was eager to get the Crock Pot and give it a go. I shared my thoughts on the product in a recent post. Today I have another recipe to share with you that is great in the slow cooker. This recipe is a classic German dish called Blaukraut. This is a vegetable side dish of slow braised cabbage with apples. It has a sweet tart flavour and it tastes amazing! I remember having it as a kid but I do not know if I ever made it myself. I made this for a family Christmas meal last month and I loved it and knew I had to do it again so I could get a photo and put it on the website.
- 1 red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 4 tart apples (I used granny smith), cored, peeled and chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 1½ cups hot water
- ½ cup vinegar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- Mix all ingredients together in a large Crock Pot (I use a 6qt).
- Cook on low for 8 hours.
Recipe adapted from Southernfood.
