Ingredients

1/2 cup + 1/2 cup vegetable broth

1 onion, chopped

1 head red cabbage, shredded or thinly sliced

5 T. cider vinegar

1 large, tart apple, chopped (and, optionally, peeled - I like the peel)

1/2 cup currants or raisins

1/2 cup apple cider

5 cloves

pinch fresh-ground nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat about 1/3 cup broth in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and "saute" in the broth until soft (about 5-8 minutes).

Add shredded cabbage and a little more broth and cook, tossing and stirring, about 10 minutes.

Add vinegar and remaining broth. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, about 20 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients (apple, currants/raisins, cider, cloves, nutmeg, salt, pepper). Cover and simmer for 1 1/4 hours.

Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more vinegar or pepper.

Serve as a side dish, or as a simple lunch over cottage cheese.

This is so close to the recipe I've used before... I always wind up using Savoy cabbage cause it's my favourite!

I've had this recipe, prepared by the cook, and it is delicious. The little pieces of tart green apple make it especially tasty, and the ruby red color looks gorgeous on the plate.

Erica and i started making a williams-sonoma version of this in santa cruz (if I remember right . . .) with balsamic vinegar. can't remember if it was apples or pears we used. but it was a staple in our kitchen along with potato pancakes on nights when we needed real comfort food. soooo good with homemade applesauce and sour cream. obviously not even close to fat-free in our version. but sooo goood. :) xo
