Braised Red Cabbage
Serves 4
A colorful and VERY traditional accompaniment vegetable with roasted meats and sausages. I prefer a well smoked or maple bacon to bring out more of a hearty flavor to the cabbage. Another alternative is using a WHITE balsamic vinegar instead of the cider vinegar listed here for a sweeter flavor to the final dish.
