Red Cabbage Salad

Makes 12 1/2-cup servings

This salad may be served warm or cold. It is delicious with buckwheat groats or kasha.

1 small head red cabbage
1 red onion
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup raspberry vinegar or additional balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 apple, grated
2 tablespoons Sesame Salt

Cut cabbage in half, then into very thin slices.

Peel onion and cut it in half from top to bottom, then slice each half into thin crescents.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook 3 minutes.

Add cabbage along with the vinegars, apple juice concentrate, thyme, and salt. Continue cooking over high heat, stirring fairly constantly until cabbage begins to soften and turns bright pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in apple and Sesame Salt. Serve warm or chill and serve cold.
