Red currant jelly is my favorite to finish rotkohl. In the US the brand I used until it was discontinued was Smucker's, but now the best brand I can find is Crosse and Blackwell. I use Heinz apple cider vinegar, and my spice mixture is a very subtle 2 juniper berries, 1 allspice berry, 1 dried bay laurel leaf, four black peppercorns, and 1 clove. I grind this finely and cook it in the fat along with the apples and onions in the beginning of the cook; it adds just enough flavor to give it a very subtle, mysterious "What's THAT!" effect. I use Ruby Port for the wine. Your suggestion of goose fat is a revelation! I will switch from bacon fat next time. I also mandoline my apples and onions to make them the same size as the cabbage, and it dissolves nicely in the finished product.
My Mother was Austrian and she used to cook this. I’ve been looking for the right recipe and this is it! This is exactly how my dear ol Mum did it. It’s amazing. It’s a shame I didn’t take more notice when she was alive. Now I’m making it for my siblings too, they love it. Brings back a lot of great memories. It freezes very well too! Thank you so much. I will be looking at your other recipes now.
THANK YOU...! For posting this recipe. My Grandmother was from Germany and made excellent Red Cabbage and Spaetzle with a silky smooth brown grave to put over it. I fondly remember the many Holiday dinners I enjoyed as a boy and growing into a young man before her passing. My Grandfather who I never knew because he passed before I was born, was a Baker and they ran their own Bakery on the south side of St. Louis for years. She then worked at Lakeforest Bakery that was well known for their Black Forest Cake, Spectacular Pastsries and German Cookies for decades until she retired.
Thanks for this recipe! We were in Wurzbug, Germany 2019 (just before covid hit the world) , it was the week before Christmas and this is one of the things we had. While I have always loved cabbage of any kind, the Rothkohl there was incredibly delicious! We also visited all the Christmas markets we could find and that is where I discovered and fell in love with the white mulled wine…I think I drank my weight in that stuff the week we were there…it was a good thing I am in a wheelchair and hubby was pushing me in my manual travel wheelchair lol as he was sober. I am not big on drinking but that white mulled wine hit the right spot lol and I have a cup from each mulled wine, from each market we visited…I need a few more of these cups to host my own mulled wine get together with friends and neighbors. I cannot wait to get back to Germany! Frohe Weihnachten! ❄🎄❄
Fantastic video. My mother was from Germany and have always wanted to recreate this amazing dish. I used red wine vinegar and goose fat but otherwise followed your instructions to the letter. I have now bought 4 red cabbages and going to do a large batch for freezing. As you said, the flavour is amazing! Thank you. My next dish to try is beans and cucumber salad, another of my mothers regular meal which tasted so good.
I ate this for the first time two weeks ago in a restaurant in Denia, Spain. It was totally delicious! Really fresh and a perfect contrast to the pork we had. I loved it!
I really enjoyed my time in Germany and came back with an appreciation of the food, wine, and especially the beer! Thank you for the excellent recipes!
South-West France is where people cook with goose fat too. It's heavenly for making chips too. Very high smoke point so healthy. The vinegar makes all the difference in my opinion. Makes the cabbage light and happy.
I just made this for dinner tonight. It was excellent. I used a wider and shallower pan. Perhaps that is why I did not have a lot of liquid at the end like you did. Thank you for the recipe and the excellent instructions. This was the first red cabbage recipe that I like. I will keep it in my notebook. Thanks again.
My great grandma was from Munich. I was too little to appreciate the heritage but it was passed down including to mom who always prepared this side dish especially during the winter feasts 😊 Thanks for reminding me of this 😋
Good day to you from USA. I am so glad I found you on UA-cam. My ancestors are from Puerto Rico and Spain..Being born and raised in New York some of my friends were of German ancestors . Now as far as the onion...cut the ends and peel..when you have what you want just rinse it in cold water under the faucet. then get to chopping! Works every time..Best wishes..
We made it and it is delicious. In a stressful time with Covid news, it is such a positive experience to watch this master chef with such a nice personality.
I'm making this, sauerbraten, and potato dumplings for my German friend who hasn't had a home-cooked German meal since 2013. I've memorized your recipes and I'm ready to rock, baby! :-) I'll get back to you on how it all turns out. Prost!
How did it go? Your friend must have been touched and so grateful for a friend like you. I relocated from the US to Scotland and there are foods and drink from home I just cannot get her and miss so much, so know how I would feel if someone were to attempt to make something for me from my homeland. Although I got the best giggle from a friends little boy who wanted to try American food so heard about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that kids traditionally eat. He couldn’t wait to tell me he had tried one. When I asked what he thought of it, he liked it he said and then asked if there was a special way to keep the jelly from falling out. It was difficult not to laugh as I realised what he had done…in Scotland they call what Americans call jello “jelly”. And what we call jelly, they call “jam”. So I made him an American pbj (with raspberry jam as we don’t have grape jam here). He was in love and now eats them almost daily. I told him that we always ate them in wholewheat bread lmbo in an effort to make it a little healthier as his Mum tried not to have white bread in the house. 🤣 But if I ever make one for me I always think of him and his peanut butter and jello sandwich.
To help avoid onion tears: 1) Breath through your mouth whilst cutting rather than through your nose. My understanding is that the sulphur fumes from the onion affect your eyes through your nose, so breathing through your mouth helps prevents the fumes from affecting your eyes. 2) Slice the onions from the root to the stem, rather than from side to side. If you slice from root to stem, then the onion cells are less disrupted and emit less sulphur.
Hi Klas, I made your Rotkohl recipe for our Canadian Thanksgiving dinner and my family and I loved it! My mother is from Germany as well (Dusseldorf), and always made Rotkohl. As my mother made her recipe a little different then your recipe...so I wanted to try yours and well I'am so glad I did, because it was absolutely delicious! I will be making it again for Christmas. Danke xx
Best duck I ever ate was at a restaurant in the basement of the municipal building in Munich. The Rathaus. The restaurant was called the Ratcellar. They served it with this cabbage dish. Soooo yummy.
I love your recipes , i ate it when I visited Germany but I never know how to cook it . Now I will do it and let you know the result . thanks you are very inspiring 🙏🏼❤️
I slice the cabbage with my Cuisinart(food processor) and cook it for 1 minute in the INSTAPOT. I do not open the lid right away, I wait till the pressure valve drops to the buttom, this way it still cooks a little bit longer . Otherwise I use the same ingredients as the chef does here! If you do not have any apples, I have used applesauce as last ingredients. I add it to the COOKED Rotkraut.
Oh my! Looks so good. Going to make this soon! Thank you always a good recipe and enjoy hearing the details of the dish, the regions where originated and the regional differences.
Thank you, love this recipe, my husband is German and his mother was a great cook only she was a bit secretive about her recipes, but I do remember her adding red current jelly. Thanks again for your channel 🥰
I do love red cabbage as a salad even more than the cooked variety. In general it is a very healthy and well tasting food. I love how you prepared it, though in the area I live in we usually go for the more sour variety. 👍 BTW yours is more Blaukraut than Rotkohl. 😎
Hello to California. I have been to LA twice and I loved the area. (First time I didn‘t see a lot though because I was there as a reporter for german television for the academy awards. Long time ago. That was in 2002)
Wow i made this today It is tender and smells a lot ! I didn’t have cloves but I used Chinese anis cloves 👍 And next time I’ll use a second apple 🍏 more delicious 😋 My family loves it. this is as a side of ribs yeah 😎!! More German dishes 👏 Kg 🇵🇪
Hello from Alberta Canada! love your cooking .Now i must make some of these delish dishes! Also i was told if you spray or put oil on your cutting board the cabbage or beets will not stain the cutting board !
Great. And of course, my recipe is just one of many ways to happiness. Butter an sugar is fine, of course. Ate some in a Restaurant in Austria just yesterday. That one was with cinnamon and nutmeg. Was great as well.
This with Rouladen puts me in my happy place
I am 10 and I did this all by myself, thank you for showing me how to do this, and it turned out amazing. I love this recipe!!!
Well I'm 8 years old & mine came out better than yours...💙❤
Cool 👎🤷♀️

Keep cooking and enjoying your self made dishes.
Thats awesome!
No one does it like the Germans. Perfect taste.
Bravo! Love it. ❤❤🎉
As an Italian with no idea of how to make German food, this channel is wunderbar
You are a German national treasure!

Hello from St Louis also! Lots of people of German decent here. My grandmother would make springerle at Christmas. Great memories!
Sounds interesting. I will do some bakery in a couple of weeks, too. I will show how to make a sour dough. The great base for any good german bread.
German american here. Love your cooking skills and explaination.
I make my red cabbage just like yours my mother is German this is so good and it freezes well too!

Absolute banger of a recipe.
I had to add a little more broth and bumped up the vinegar a notch, and it was simply incredible.
My great grandma was from Munich. I was too little to appreciate the heritage but it was passed down including to mom who always prepared this side dish especially during the winter feasts 😊
Thanks for reminding me of this 😋
I made this recipe today and followed it exactly (except I omitted cloves) and use strawberry jelly and it was great
That red cabbage looks absolutely delicious! Lecker, lecker, lecker!

Am I the only viewer who, having watched this, does not feel envious about living in Germany? Really "cool".
I am watching this away from home. Can't wait to go home and make it. I love red cabbage!
By the way. thank you for providing the weight of the cabbage. I think that is why this particular recepii was so successful.
Thank you s much for your recipes, this is the recipe my mom used
Put the onions whole under cold water and you won't cry no more ! Thanks. Danke Schoen !
Thanks Klas Red cabbage is my favorite and Scrumptious
I love this, whenever i go to Frankfurth i eat this decicious meal.
Reminds me so much when I was stationed in Germany.
My favorite - Jägerschnitzel and semmelknödel with mushroom gravy, and of course rotkohl. And a big ol tall mug of beer.
Your onscreen persona is very charming.
Yum! You really need to start doing more videos!
This channel seriously deserves a lot more wievs than it got.

I love this recipe. My son also loves red cabbage and makes it fermented klvass he calls it this is a probiotic as well. 👍👍
Rothkohl (Rödkål in Swedish) is very popular up here as well, and the recipe is more or less the same. Lovely stuff and very good for you!
Cool. Yes a lot of things are not german exclusively of course. I think it‘s nice that good taste doesn’t care about frontiers. 😊
Best duck I ever ate was at a restaurant in the basement of the municipal building in Munich. The Rathaus. The restaurant was called the Ratcellar. They served it with this cabbage dish. Soooo yummy.
I made this for Xmas and it went down a treat with roasted chicken 🍗🍀🇩🇪🇯🇲🇬🇧 cheers 🍻

I just made it for dinner. Didnt have jellly. Was anyway delicious ! Thank you for the recipe :)
Love the kitchen design. Would love to visit Germany since my family originated there.

My mom came from Denmark and no holiday dinner was without sweet & sour red cabbage.
Very nice mate , tried your German dumplings last week, it was great .
I am glad that I found your channel . Typical German food recipes in English ❤👍
Rott Kraut bliebt Rott Kraut and Brautklied bliebt Brautklied. Great video as always man! I have too learn these recipes before they dissapear-
When ever you cook this stuff, make sure you use a big pot, spilling it will cause staining.
I love Red Cabbage with gravy and potato dumplings.
Oh my! Looks so good. Going to make this soon! Thank you always a good recipe and enjoy hearing the details of the dish, the regions where originated and the regional differences.
I can't wait to visit Munich to eat this amazing food!!
