Red cabbage Recipe

Dietitian's tip:
Red cabbage — a cruciferous vegetable with dark red or purple leaves — has a tougher texture and a slightly sweeter flavor than does green cabbage. To save time, shred the cabbage in advance and store in a sealed bag in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds red cabbage, cored, quartered and shredded
    • 2 medium onions, chopped
    • 1 tart apple, cored, peeled and chopped
    • 1 cup pitted prunes
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
    • 1 teaspoon coriander seed
    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • Ground nutmeg, to taste
    • 1/2 cup water

Directions

In a large pot, add all of the ingredients. Stir to mix thoroughly. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Add water as necessary to prevent the cabbage from drying out. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve either warm or cold.
