I decided to make Schnitzel and Red Cabbage German style today. So I picked one of our heads of red cabbage. Cabbage is a slaw crop and we planted the sets back in September. These also do very well in the cold weather and they pretty much came through unscathed in the cold temperatures we had a few weeks ago in the the teens. To harvest I just cut the head out of the plant. You can then cut the rest off the root and compost.
My favorite way of preparing Red Cabbage is from one of my grandmother's recipes.
German Style Red Cabbage
1 head of red cabbage chopped
3-4 pieces of bacon chopped into small pieces
1 onion chopped

Chop the cabbage into small pieces and place is bowl of water. Fry the bacon in a large pots until crisp. Remove the Bacon. Saute the onion in the bacon grease for a few minutes until tender. Add the cabbage and stir fry over med high heat for about 5 minutes until somewhat soft. Add vinegar and honey to taste , cover and cook over med low heat for about 30 minutes.
