Kripalu Recipe: Braised Kale and Apple Slaw

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
6 cups lightly packed shredded lacinato kale (from about 1 bunch or 8 ounces)
1/2 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup small-diced red apples with skin 
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. When hot, add the oil and cabbage, shaking the pan to coat the cabbage. Cook until a bit softened but not browned, 2–3 minutes. Stir in the kale and cook for 2–3 minutes, tossing now and then. 

Stir in the carrots, apples, and ginger, and cook until the carrots are still crisp-tender about 1 minute. Stir in the cider vinegar and one tablespoon water, and cook until most of the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
