[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Slow Cooker Braised Red Cabbage with Apples and Chestnuts - 3 pts plus; 18g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber

I used Trader Joe's cooked/prepared chestnuts and added 1/2 teaspoon ground Aleppo red pepper. I'll add another apple next, and leave out the bay leaf. Didn't like it with the chestnuts.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 head red cabbage -- (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 large apple -- peeled and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons canola oil -- or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bay leaf
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups peeled cooked chestnuts -- (I buy the prepared cooked package at Trader Joes)

Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the hard core. Cut the wedges
crosswise into thin shreds.

In a large slow cooker, combine the cabbage with the remaining ingredients
except for the chestnuts, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cover
and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, stirring
occasionally, until the cabbage and apple are very tender.

Stir in the chestnuts, cover, and cook for 30 minutes more. Remove the bay
leaf and serve hot.

Serves 8

AuthorNote: Tangy, ruby-red cabbage studded with chestnuts goes with
[grilled or roasted favorites]. Add some buttered egg noodles for a
perfect winter meal.

Jarred or canned precooked chestnuts are good for this recipe. Just be
sure they are unsweetened.

ChupaNote: Dried peeled chestnuts may be found at Italian ethnic markets.
Rehydrate in boiling water before using.
