Danish Braised Cabbage

Description Edit

This red cabbage recipe is a tangy addition to meals, and it's quite easy to prepare. Note that the flavor deepens and improves if you prepare the dish a day ahead, refrigerate it, and then reheat it on the stove or in a 325-degree oven before serving.

Bring to a boil; cover casserole, and place in oven.
