St Paddy's with Octavio and Jenny Ruske

Sweet and Sour Cabbage makes a fitting Irish accompaniment to Fish (or Shepherd's) Pie and is very simple to make:

Shred or chop coarsely 1 head of purple cabbage and stew - over medium heat - with 3 T. cider vinegar, about 1/2 cup or more of vegetable stock, 2 T. of butter, 1 chopped onion, plenty of salt and black pepper, 1 T. each of brown sugar and honey and sweet, warm spices (we like a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger powder). Cook till tender/crisp, about 20 minutes.
