Sweet and sour purple cabbage

Clean the cabbage: remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and the toughest part of the central stem.

Cut the red cabbage into thin strips, then wash it well under running water.

Let it drain.

Peel the garlic and sauté it in extra virgin olive oil.

Add the red cabbage to the pan and stir for a few minutes to allow it to absorb the flavors.

Then combine water, salt, pepper, sugar and balsamic vinegar.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until the liquid has completely evaporated and the cabbage is soft.
