Red cabbage and other great lunch and dinner ideas that are heart healthy and easy to prepare

Red Cabbage Sweet and Sour from Germany

From Germany
This cabbage dish is a main staple in Germany and it can be eaten with mashed or cooked potatoes.

It also goes very well with a hearty vegetarian meatloaf!

Red cabbage is a low calorie nutrition powerhouse with many antioxidants that detoxify the body, reduce the cancer risk, and protect a healthy bone structure.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter (Earth Balance or soy margarine for vegan version)
• 1 2-pound organic red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 6 tablespoons organic raw sugar
• 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cabbage and saute until slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and toss to coat evenly. Add vinegar and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender while stirring often, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
