My ex- mother-in-law was from Germany and made the best red cabbage with caraway seeds. I haven't eaten it in over 20 years so I don't remember what she put in it. All I do remember was the caraway seeds. Does anyone have a recipe for red cabbage???????????? I googled and they have red cabbage with apples but not with caraway. thanks

Try looking at www.allrecipes.com or www.recipezaar.com. Both sites have tons of recipes and you can search by ingredients!

I've only ever had red cabbage with apples, but I love caraway seeds. I make spare ribs with sauerkraut and caraways seeds in the crockpot..yummy!
