1
red cabbage (2 to 2 1/4 pounds in weight)
1
large sweet hybrid onion, cut thin slices
1/2
cup small black currants
3
tablespoons cider vinegar
2
tablespoons sugar
1
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1
tablespoon oil
1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth or defatted chicken stock (more
if needed)
Cut out core of cabbage
and discard any tough or discolored outside leaves. Slice cabbage in half
or quarters, then slice lengthwise into 1/8-inch shreds. You should have
about 12 cups.
Toss cabbage and onion in large nonstick skillet and add currants, vinegar,
sugar, salt, pepper, oil and stock.
Bring to boil over high heat, then cover. Reduce heat to medium and braise,
stirring occasionally, until there is only a small amount of liquid left
and cabbage is moist and just slightly crunchy, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Add a little more stock if it become too dry and continue cooking. Adjust
seasonings and serve.
