Speedy cabbage, apple and onion sautee

Ingredients

1 medium red onion, diced
2 to 4 tbsp. vegetable broth
1/2 medium red cabbage, chopped
1 red apple, diced (leave peel on)
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Directions

Brown onions in a dry pan over medium to medium-high heat, adding a few tablespoons of vegetable broth to avoid burning. Let onions begin to caramelize before stirring (over-stirring will prevent the onions from browning). Add cabbage and apple and a few more tablespoons broth, if needed. Cook for just a few minutes, until cabbage is just tender, avoiding overcooking. Toss with a few tablespoons of your favorite vinegar, sprinkle with pepper and serve immediately.
 
The Nutrition Professor's Cook Smart Tip:
After dicing the onion, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking to maximize the nutrients available to your body.
