What is Rotkohl?

Rotkohl is German for red cabbage. It is a staple in German cuisine.The color of the raw cabbage is between red and blue. People in Northern Germany cook it with wine or vinegar. The acid turns the cabbage red, hence its name. People in Southern Germany cook it with suger, and that makes the cabbage turn blue, which is why they call it Blaukraut.

How should I eat Rotkohl?

Open a glass of Kruegermanr Rotkohl. Pour the cabbage into a sieve and let the brine drop off. Optionally rinse it to make it less sour. Heat it slowly, best in a crock pot. Make sure you do not burn it. Serve Rotkohl as a side dish to most meat dishes including roasted pork, beef, chicken, turkey, goose, and duck. You will often see it as a side to traditional dishes like Rouladen, Bratwurst, or Wiener schnitzel.
