Your New Favourite Oktoberfest Side

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 4 Cups shredded Cabbage
  • 1 Tsp Paprika
  • 1 Tsp dried Mustard
  • 2 Apples
  • 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Serves 4, as a side dish

  1. Heat a large pot, or high-sided frying pan, on medium. Add the oil, then the onion and garlic and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add the cabbage, paprika, mustard, salt and pepper, and 1 cup of water. Stir together and bring to a boil. Leave uncovered and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water has mostly evaporated.
  3. Meanwhile, core the apples and cut into matchsticks.
  4. Add the apple and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent sticking, until the cabbage is softened. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar and stir thoroughly. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Serve alongside sausages or schnitzel for a traditional German meal, or with lentils or beans for something substantial and vegetarian. Enjoy!
