Home for the Holidays! The aroma of wine and spices will waft through your house and it will feel like a warm, holiday home, when you prepare German Red Cabbage, or Rotkohl. This recipe is for making Rotkohl in an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker, but it can be made in any cooking pot, or caldero, or in a Dutch oven.The only difference will be that you may want to add an additional cup of liquid (apple juice, or water, or an equal mix of wine and red wine vinegar); whereas the Instant Pot will have the Rotkohl ready in 15 minutes, it will be one and a half hours or so to cook it in a regular pot.
Rotkohl is not only aromatic and delicious, but it makes for a spectacular visual presentation, as well. It's deep, dark, elegant, purplish red and glistening sauce says Merry Christmas, Happy Hoidays, and I love you!
Happy feasting!
