Braised red cabbage

From Canyon Ranch Nourish

Excellent with mushroom burgers - I didn't have some of the ingredients last time, so I'll try it again, but it has great potential.  I also cooked it stovetop only, finishing it by covering it and letting it simmer.

Purple cabbage joins the list of vegetables and fruits rich in anthocyanin, the purple and dark red pigments the protect against cancer and heart disease.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp EVOO
1/2 cup julienned yellow onion
4 cups shredded red cabbage
2 bay leaves
Pinch ground cloves
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp caraway seed
1/4 cup red wine
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 cup julienned Red Delicious apples
2 Tbsp honey

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350
2. Heat the olive oil in a medium ovenproof sauce pan over medium heat.  Sauce the onions in olive oil until golden.  Add the red cabbage.  Cover and cook for about 2 minutes.  Add the bay leaves, cloves, salt , pepper, caraway seed, wine, vinegar, and water.  Mix well and cover tightly.

3.  Transfer the sauce pan to the oven and braise for 25 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.  Add th apples and honey and mix well.  Cover and braise for an additional 10 minutes.  Remove and discard the bay leaves.
