BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

1 large red cabbage, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise in thin strips

About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Salt
