German red cabbage recipes, aka Rotkohl, Rotkraut, and Blaukraut, are among those best vegetable recipes that Germans love!
They go so well with dishes like rouladen (or flatladen in my family) and meat loaf.
It's THE traditional German side dish that fits so well to almost anything.
I love how our families get used to the way we, as mothers, make our foods. Our children always ask for more when I make it the way they are familiar with it. As well, the leftovers are great.
My solution to this. I always choose the largest red cabbage I can find. Then, I'll double or triple the recipe.
Since we've got newly converted vegans in our family, I'm working hard at trying to make German foods that we can all love and enjoy together. Red cabbage is a family favorite. And now, it still is by making just a small adjustment. The change? Just use oil rather than butter or bacon fat. It wouldn't taste absolutely the same, but it is good!

Make sure you add the vinegar at the end of the cooking time.
At first, when you look at the cooked red cabbage, it'll look really 'mucky' in color. Add the vinegar and POOF! Beautiful!
A traditional addition to red cabbage is to add apples. Check out this Red Cabbage Recipe if you're wanting it to be authentic.
