Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups red cabbage thinly sliced (about 1/4 large head)
  • ¾ teaspoon caraway seeds
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 crisp sweet apple, such as Braeburn or Gala, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts toasted (see Tip)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cabbage, caraway seeds and salt. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add apple, shallot, vinegar, mustard and pepper and stir until combined. Serve sprinkled with toasted walnuts.
