Brunkål | Traditional Side Dish From Skåne County, Sweden | TasteAtlas

Brunkål

(Skånsk Brunkål)

Translated as brown cabbage, this simple Swedish dish consists of white cabbage that is slowly braised with soy sauce, vinegar, and syrup. Usually associated with the Skåne region, the dish is traditionally enjoyed for Christmas, and it is typically served along pork, sausages, or Christmas ham (julskinka).


During cooking, the cabbage turns brown, hence the name.
