Finishing the braised red cabbage with pomegranate juice – 1 hour

Heat a knob of butter on high heat in a large dutch oven and cook the finely chopped red cabbage for about 10 minutes while you stir regularly. Add cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and cloves, you can create a herb package so it's easier to remove them afterwards.

Add sugar and cook a few minutes more. Pour in the pomegranate juice, turn down the heat and put the lid on. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes and stir from time to time.

Remove the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks and cloves and season the cabbage with pepper and salt. A delicious side dish with e.g. a piece of meat and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
