BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Wash the head of cabbage under cold running water, remove the tough outer leaves, and cut cabbage into quarters. To shred the cabbage, cut out the core and slice the quarters crosswise into 1/8?inch-wide strips.
• In a heavy 4 to 5-quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until the onions are lightly browned. Add the cabbage, stir thoroughly, add the apples, and pour in the boiling water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, and reduce the heat to very low. Add red wine vinegar, salt and sugar, stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the cabbage is tender. Check from time to time to make sure that the cabbage is moist and tender. If it seems dry, add a tablespoon of boiling water. When the cabbage is done, there should be almost no liquid left in the casserole. Taste for seasoning, then transfer the entire contents of the casserole to a heated platter or bowl and serve.

BONNIE'S BRAISED CABBAGE WITH RED APPLES AND WINE

Steps:

• Sear you meat in a large non-stick skillet that has a tight fitting lid, such as thick loin chops, which is what I used to make this dish. Once the chops have a good sear on both sides, transfer them to a glass baking dish, covered tight with foil, and pop them in the oven until the cabbage is done. About 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Put the half head of cabbage flat side down on a cutting board. Slice the cabbage straight across in coarse 1/4 inch slices. Place the slices in the hot pan drippings and add the 1/2 cup of wine, stir gently to pick up any brown pieces. Put the lid on the skillet. Let the cabbage cook while you wash and slice the unpeeled red apples, removing the core. Place the apples on top of the cabbage. Ever so often turn the cabbage and the apples. The apples and cabbage will brown as the cabbage cooks, make sure it doesn't burn. When the cabbage is tender, the apples will be, too. Remove chops from oven, and serve with the cabbage and apples. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the butter, sugar, and vinegar with a large pinch of salt and a sprinkling of pepper in a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat. Bring to a boil.
• Add the cabbage, stirring to coat. When the cabbage begins to glisten and soften a bit, add the apple pieces and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the cabbage is soft, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in the currant jelly or wine if you're using it. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve.

• Omit the sugar from step 1. In step 2, substitute green cabbage for red and 1 cup peeled and roughly chopped chestnuts (page 453) for the apples. Cook until both chestnuts and cabbage are tender, as directed, then serve.
