Schwäbisches Rotkraut Mit Kasseler Rippenspeer Und Knoblauchkartoffeln

Easy now with the German tongue breaker – it’s just red cabbage with smoked pork loin and garlic potatoes, jawohl 🙂

The secret to a good red cabbage (as well as sauerkraut) is to cook it long enough and to bind the juices, two simple steps that most cooks ignore. Unlike some other recipes steeped in a long tradition, in my opinion, this one does NOT improve with modernisation or simplification. It is a very straightforward preparation which will be rewarded with a great dish, wonderful in taste, texture and presentation.

Bon Appetit ! Life is Good !

P.S.
Although this dish does not really need a sauce, I am a typical “Schwoab“, who loves sauce with everything.
So I made a sauce with the drippings from the kasseler, some finely chopped tomatoes and a shot of red wine 🙂

Love this traditional German dish! Reminds me of my time in Dusseldorf and the Scheinbraten with Brotchen , street food prepared on a rotisserie. Keep up the great posts chef!
