This mild red cabbage in wine recipe comes from the Alsace region, where the trademark flavors of German cuisine heavily influence the local dishes. Traditional, braised red cabbage can be a bit sharp-flavored, but this dish is a pleasantly subtle contrast of red cabbage, dry red wine, and thyme - perfect for smoky sausages or classic, roasted pork.
