Rotkohl and cauliflower mash potato

My grandfather on my mother's side was German. My Mom made a typical German dish for the family when I was growing up which consisted of Rouladen, wrapped onion, pickle, mustard and bacon in thinly sliced beef, Rotkohl, boiled red cabbage, and mashed potatoes. This is one of the dishes I miss the most since I've become vegetarian. I went to my Mom's house last week and she was cooking some boiled red cabbage so I decided to give this German staple a vegan swirl. 

Vegan Rotkohl Ingredients
1/2 yellow onion diced
3 slices vegan bacon, chopped (I used Light Life smart bacon)
1/2 red cabbage, shredded
1 gala apple, quartered
1/2 cup red wine
1 tbsp honey
1 cup water or apple juice
1 bay leaf
ground black pepper

Directions
1. Sauté onions and bacon in a drizzle of evoo for about 5 minutes.
2. Add cabbage and cook another few minutes.
3. Add apples, honey, spices, wine, water/juice. 
4. Let simmer at medium heat for about an hour. You may need to add more water/juice/wine as cabbage soaks up liquid.
5. Serve cabbage as side w/out apples.

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes 
Ingredients
Medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 yukon gold potato, cut into chunks
3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

1. Boil potatoes and cauliflower for about 15 minutes, until tender.

Man this came out beautiful! And the cauliflower is soo good! Next time I am making the mash with only cauliflower to cut carbs.
