Sour cabbage with czech knedlik
Cabbage is a wonderful plant, one of the oldest known vegetables in the world, feeding us with its thick tasty leaves before 1000 BC. Did you know that the heaviest cabbage ever cultivated was 62.71 kilograms? Enjoy this traditional full-of-savour czech meal, a tribute to cabbage!
Ingredients
- 1 sour cabbage
- 2 onions
- 2 apples
- 2 potatoes
- oil
- honey
- salt, pepper
- water
- knedlik (to be replaced with bread, if not available)
Preparation
Fry the choped onions in a big pot, with the oil and then add the choped cabbage, the grated apples, the honey, the salt and pepper and 500ml of water. Grate the potatoes on the fine-side of the shredder, to obtain a pasta-like mixture and then add it to the rest of the ingredients, in the pot. Cover with a lid and let it boil very slowly until the water evaporates and the ingredients are cooked.
Cut the knedlik in slices and put it in a sieve, on top of a pot with boiling water. Cover with a cloth and a lid and let it steam for ~10 minutes. Alternatively, you can soak the slices of knedlik or bread, in egg and fry them in a pan. If you don`t have knedlik, simply eat the dish with bread.
Enjoy!
