Stir Fry Red Cabbage

Cabbage used to be my all time tops for the "Yuck Food" list. I am now happy to say that this wonderfully ultra healthy, antioxidant-laden, cholesterol lowering cruciferous veggie is now one of my very favorites. 
Gently steaming or stir frying red cabbage increases its ability to help lower blood cholesterol levels as well as remove the bitterness and bring out the natural sweetness hidden away. 

Ingredients:
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded into strips
handful of raisins
1 t purple onion, chopped finely
1/2 t balsamic vinegar
1 T flaxseeds
1 T coconut oil

This is crazy easy and crazy quick.....and sooo good. 
Heat oil in 10+ fry pan over low heat. Add purple onion and cabbage,vinegar, and flaxseed. Add raisins after 3 minutes to plump. You may add salt and pepper to taste. Stir several times to prevent sticking or browning. Cabbage will start to wilt or soften around 4-5 minutes -- remove from heat so as to retain nutrients. Serve as a main dish or side dish.
