Danish Red Cabbage
If your taste buds are craving something a little more exotic; something ethnic with beautiful color and a sweet and sour flavor, well, you’ve come to the right blog post. Danish Red Cabbage, or Rødkål, is a great side dish for the Frikadeller or any other Danish recipe really. It is roughly pronounced “roeth kohl”. It is a fun, bright side-dish that tastes similar to sauerkraut but a little sweeter. You can also serve this with smoked sausage, bratwurst, or pork.
A Taste of Family History
Although you are certainly not required to have Danish ancestry to enjoy this delicious dish, knowing this is a food some of your ancestors enjoyed certainly makes it feel more authentic. One reader commented that they’ve always enjoyed Red Danish Cabbage, along with other Danish foods, as traditional Christmas Eve fare. Exposing your family to food from another country and culture can be an excellent way to broaden their horizons and pique their interest in learning even more.
