By BobD

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• One 3-pound head of red cabbage—cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of crushed red pepper
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add the red cabbage and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until sizzling, about 3 minutes. Cover tightly and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and crushed red pepper. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
