- 1-1/2 cups water
- 3/4 tsp caraway seeds

- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 small head red cabbage, cut into 4 wedges
- 1/4 cup crushed gingersnaps
Directions:
- Brown meat in oil in a heavy skillet. Remove meat and sauté onion in remaining oil until golden. Return meat to skillet.
- Add water, caraway seeds, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1-1/4 hours.
- Add vinegar and sugar; stir. Place cabbage on top of meat. Cover and simmer 45 minutes more.
