How about something out of the ordinary to add to your holiday table? It seems that almost all of my cookbooks have at least one recipe for cabbage in it. Growing up in a Irish American family, we had a lot of cabbage dishes. Mostly corned beef cabbage and potatoes, or stuffed cabbage. My mom never used red cabbage. At least, not that I remember.
This colorful cabbage dish, with its crisp apples is a fabulous side dish for any occasion. The wonderful thing is that this is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day. You can also interchange with the green cabbage if needed.
