Sweet and sour red cabbage with apple, raisins and pine nuts
This is a very typical recipe from Madrid, usually eaten especially on festive days, although it is so delicious that it is ideal to enjoy throughout the cold season, which is when red cabbage is at its best.
This is a very easy dish to prepare, which does not take much time and is made with simple ingredients. It can also be eaten hot or cold, as it is just as delicious either way.
It is an appetizer with rustic touches and a sweet essence, full of color and irresistible flavor, which also has a very tender and juicy texture.
