    delicious Really good and original. My suggestion: Since I was worried it might be too acidic, I added dried raisins that blended well into the mixture. And indeed, it pairs nicely!

    Another way to do it I do not blanch the cabbage; I sauté it with fried onions and add a glass of red wine, a glass of water, 2 pieces of sugar, and the apples towards the end of cooking so that they are soft but still firm. The same goes for the chestnuts at the end of cooking.

    These are not chestnuts but sweet chestnuts, and this dish is excellent, but white wine is not necessary.
