Description

Fermented cabbage stewed with bacon until brown, with the addition of sugar and without vinegar - this is an authentic Latvian recipe. My version is more diet-friendly. So it's up to you. You can stew the cabbage just the same in a pot on the gas stove. Do not add water, just stir! Caraway seeds are a must-have ingredient for Latvian cabbage, even for those who don't usually like them - they blend in very well.
