Recipe of the Week: Spiced Red Cabbage

My wife is German and thanks to her grandma’s cooking, I’ve come to love good red cabbage dishes. They’re a delicious, low-calorie way to spice up just about any meal.

This recipe is very similar to grandma’s, and it’s from my cookbook Eat Green Get Lean. I love the combination of sweet and sour, and the subtle flavoring added by the apple. Enjoy!
