Hannah's Rotkohl

This recipe is from my friend Kirsten's mom Hannah, who was born in Germany. 

• 2 ½ lbs red cabbage thinly sliced

• 3 tablespoons butter

• 1 onion diced

• 10 whole cloves

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 cup water, and more if needed

• 2 tart apples grated

• 1 teaspoon salt

Melt butter in a lidded sauté pan.  Add onion and sauté until onion is soft.  Add cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring to coat with butter.  Add remaining ingredients.  Bring to a simmer and cover.  Cook for 1 to 1 ½ hours.  Add water if needed.  Remove cloves before serving.

Serves 6 to 8.
