Instructions

  1. Info in advance:
  2. This recipe is very variable. It can be served as a side dish e.g. with cutlets, schnitzel, meatballs or sausages. It can also be prepared as a stew, e.g. with beef / soup meat, smoked pork or Viennese sausages. The walnuts can also be omitted. All 3 variants are shown in the photo.
  3. Preparation:
  4. The white cabbage - it is best to use a head of cabbage, which is more tender and digestible and has fewer leaf veins - plane and wash. Halve the fennel, remove the stalk and cut into thin strips. Cook everything together with the granulated seasoning and water in a large saucepan for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Use all the water as a stew, pour off some water as a side dish and thicken with a little roux. Add the spices, honey, sour cream, processed cheese and parsley and season with a grainy broth if necessary. Mix in walnuts as needed.
  6. Tip:
  7. If you like it a little hotter, you can also go with chilli. Do more, it tastes great even when warmed up.
