Sweet-sauerkraut

Recommended recipe by Milica (Millie) Milovanovic. From "The Awakening of Spring"/Educational/Dieting
1 medium sized red cabbage
2 green apples
1-2 onions
1 TBSP sesame oil
1 tsp umeboshi vinegar
1tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp salt (flat, not heaping)
Bay leaves
 
Preparation:
 
Heat the oil and add the previously cut onion (in the shape of half-circles) into the pan. Sautee the onion and then add thinly sliced apples. Add cabbage (cut as if you would for a salad), salt and bay leaves. At the start of sauteeing, add a small amount of water until vegetables release their own juices to prevent burning. Cook covered until it boils and then lower the heat. Cook for another hour. Afterwards, you can add rice and umeboshi vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions and parsley.
