Braised Cabbage

serves 4

We used this to top our veggie burgers, or it would be delicious as a side dish

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c finely chopped onion
3 large garlic cloves , minced
4-5 c thinly sliced green cabbage
2 c roughly chopped kale leaves (optional)
1/2 c water
splash of white wine
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Saute onions in oil until they have softened. Add the garlic, cabbage, kale, (1/2 c) water, salt and pepper and cook covered for 10 minutes, checking periodically to make sure that it doesn't scorch. Remove lid and cook additional 20 minutes over medium heat stirring every 5 minutes or so.  Splash in wine towards the end, and cook until absorbed.
