Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 pounds red cabbage

1/2 teaspoon allspice berries

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds

4 cloves

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion -- finely diced

3 small bay leaves

1 tablespoon brown sugar or molasses

1/4 cup diced tomatoes -- fresh or canned

1/2 cup juice from the tomatoes or water

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

 

SERVES 4

 

Using a stainless-steel knife, quarter the cabbage, remove the core, and

slice it crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Bruise the spices in a mortar or

grind them in a spice mill. Heat the oil in a wide skillet with the onion,

spices, and bay leaves; cook over medium heat until the onion is

translucent, about 4 minutes, then add the brown sugar and cook 1 minute

more. Lay the cabbage over the onion, season with I teaspoon salt, and

spoon the tomatoes over all. Pour in the tomato juice, then cover and cook

gently until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid and

toss everything together. Add the vinegar, raise the heat, and cook until

most of the liquid is evaporated, leaving a syrupy glaze. Taste for salt,

season with pepper, and serve.
