Brunkål-Swedish style brown cabbage
Stewed white cabbage
Ingredients
- 2 pounds white cabbage. (1 medium size) about 1 kg
- ½ stick butter (½cup), 60 grams
- ½ cup brown syrup
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white or black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon whole allspice(about 10-15 psc)
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Remove withered outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into four, and remove the hard parts. Cut your cabbage pieces into slices and then into small pieces.
- Melt the butter in your large pan. Add the cabbage and fry at high heat for about 5 minutes while stirring. If you want your cabbage to be very brown you can brown some color to it at this stage.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients. Simmer your cabbage stew on low to medium heat with a lid on for an hour. Remove the lid and cook at low heat for another hour so you get some liquid evaporated.
- Serve warm with ham, sausages, or meatballs.
Notes
Make it in the oven: Bake at 400F (200C) for at least an hour on the middle shelf. Use a foil as a lid, so the cabbage does not burn on top. Stir it a couple of times when in the oven.
Replacements: Chicken stock can be replaced with vegetable stock or beef stock. You can also use Christmas ham broth.
Instead of brown syrup, you can use light syrup or muscovado sugar-see more alternatives in the article.
Soy sauce can be replaced with salt. White wine vinegar with some other vinegar.
