Braised Purple Cabbage

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min

This recipe has no right to turn out so delicious. With just a few ingredients, you will create a flavorful side dish that pairs well with grilled fish, chicken or tofu. Cabbage is also one of my favorite low potassium substitutions for spinach and other cooked greens.
