my german red cabbage does not have much liquid. red german cabbage is dry

Question

Is german red cabbage supposed to be dry and if not What do you do if your german red cabbage is dry.

Answer 1

I'm going to assume you have cooked red cabbage and the result is dry. You want to cover the red cabbage (or any other cabbage) as it cooks to prevent moisture loss, if you aren't covering it then that's the first thing to fix.

There really isn't any magic to it, you just add some water to it as you cook it. Red cabbage, and other cabbages for that matter, don't have that much liquid in them. As they break down they release moisture, much of which will escape out of the pot as it cooks, so you just add a splash now and again to keep it wet enough. You can also use other liquids, I've seen people use wine, I've used apple juice/cider. It all depends on the flavor you want.
