Looking for a side dish that is easy, a bit different, and still delicious? Low sodium and low fat too! Perfect for a holiday dinner, or as a side dish at a barbeque. It is even delicious on a bratwurst rather than sauerkraut. Good warm or cold it adds a zesty flavor to your meal! Take it to a potluck and you will be surprised how quickly your contribution disappears! In the fall I love this dish with pulled pork sandwiches, a flavorful combo! This recipe includes pickled onions. The recipe for pickled onions can be found in Tried and True Favorites!
1 medium head green cabbage
1 cup pickled onions
1 cup liquid from pickled onions
1 teaspoon caraway seed
½ teaspoon coarse grated black pepper
½ teaspoon celery seed
Core cabbage to remove thick, white stem. Cut cabbage head into fourths. Take each fourth and rough chop with large knife. Do not grate.
