    This recipe is delicious! I am making it yet again for dinner tonight. It really complements so many meats. I have tried other red cabbage recipe but this is by far the best.
    Cudos Martha!

    Easy, delicious and SO GOOD with roasted sweet potatoes and pork chops, pork loin, or even with roast chicken. This is one of my absolute favorite autumn dishes.
