Red Cabbage with Apples

Ingredients
3 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 medium red cabbage, about 2 pounds, quartered, cored, and finely sliced
2 Granny Smith or Pippin apples, quartered, cored, and diced
Salt and freshly milled pepper
Apple cider vinegar

Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet.  Add the onion and caraway, give them a stir, then cook for a few minutes over medium heat until the onion is translucent.  Add the cabbage and apples and season with 1 teaspoon salt.  Cover tightly and cook very slowly until the cabbage is meltingly tender, up to an hour.  Taste for salt, season with pepper, and toss with vinegar to taste.

Serves:  4-6
