Braised Red Cabbage (with apples)

Someone mentioned wanting my red cabbage recipe when I posted my hachee. Now, those two dishes go hand in hand as far as I’m concerned. I actually did a Dutch red cabbage recipe for a guest posting as well a few years ago. It would be a venial sin to let this recipe go to waste somewhere in the land of unpublished recipes.

It’s time for hearty, honest and slightly less fattening food! At least for my thighs it is. Here’s a family favorite for your winter hodgepodge collection. You can never have enough of them! It’s a traditional hodgepodge with a slight Kayotic twist. Slight being the understatement of the year. If you don’t like salami, skip this one. Big part of the flavor that makes this hodgepodge so special comes from salami….
