Servings: persons

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 small to medium red cabbage, cored and shredded
1 1/2 cups hard cider OR
1 cup vegetable or chicken stock AND
1/2 cup apple cider
zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

1
Saute the leeks, thyme and garlic in the olive oil, sprinkling with kosher salt to sweat, about 1-2 min.
2
Add in the shredded cabbage and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper and saute several minutes more just until the cabbage starts to wilt and its sugars begin to caramelise slightly.
3
Add in the hard cider (or mixture of regular cider and broth), bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for about 10 minutes or until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and you have a rather thickish sauce. You want the cabbage to be moist but neither dripping in liquid, nor dry.
4
Remove from the heat and add in the lemon zest, juice and dill, checking for seasoning and adding more salt and pepper if needed.
5
This dish is great as a side dish alongside pork chops and some mashed turnips, or even on its own as a lunch.
