Directions

1
Clean the red cabbage, cut into eighths and cut out the stalk. Cut the cabbage into strips. Peel and roughly dice the onion. Wash the meat, dab dry and season with salt and pepper. Tie meat with kitchen string to a roll.

Put the meat on top of the red cabbage. Close the roaster with aluminium foil. Let it braise in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ circulating air: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
