I have almost the same recipe, and it is fantastic with any kind of BBQ that I have tried with it. I personally like to add about a quarter teaspoon of red pepper flake, and experimenting with caraway seed, mace and other spices can be fun. Try adding some cinnamon if you eat with lamb.
Made the red cabbage tonight after work in town. I didn’t have time for the long simmer. I chose to employ my small pressure cooker to speed things up. after cooking bacon and adding the dry ingredients and cabbage I cooked the cabbage in the pan with lid off for about 10 minutes. I added a little more water so it wouldn’t stick and closed the cooker.
Mine is quite old – but it cooks at about #5 pressure.
I timed the pressure cooker 9 minutes and cooled it quickly so the lid could be removed.
Tasty tender. And there is a little left for my lunchbox tomorrow.
