Vegetables - Cabbage - -

INGREDIENTS

1/2 medium head of red cabbage, outer leaves and core removed (6 cups)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, cut in half and sliced thin
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1 x 340 milliliter / 11 1/2 fluid ounce bottle of beer
1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
3 tablespoon umeboshi vinegar (or 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar)
Salt and black pepper

METHOD

Slice the cabbage very thin.

Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 7 minutes or until the onions are softened.

Add the caraway and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Add the cabbage, beer and apple juice, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, covered. Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 more minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the braising liquid has reduced by half.

Add the mustard, umeboshi vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Serve hot.
