Recipe: Spicy red cabbage

Dietitian's tip: Red cabbage — a cruciferous vegetable with dark red or purple leaves — has a tougher texture and a slightly sweeter flavor than does green cabbage. To save time, shred the cabbage in advance and store in a sealed bag in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds red cabbage, cored, quartered and shredded
2 medium onions, chopped
1 tart apple, cored, peeled and chopped
1 cup pitted prunes
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Ground nutmeg, to taste
1/2 cup water


Directions
