This dish may sound strange to the non-Germans out there. Give it a chance – it may surprise you. I like to make this dish with red cabbage, but if you have a green cabbage handy, just use it. You can also mix up the cumin and swap it out with fennel or caraway seeds.
Finally, just to throw in a little pressure cooker love – if you were to make this without the pressure cooker, you’ll be cooking it for about an hour. Here it cooks for 3 minutes under pressure. Can’t beat that.
Have fun and enjoy.
