BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH APPLES



Braised Red Cabbage With Apples image

This is an adaptation of a classic cabbage dish that I never tire of. The cabbage cooks for a long time, until it is very tender and sweet. I like to serve this with bulgur, or as a side dish with just about anything. You can halve the quantities if you don't want to make such a large amount.

About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, tied
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup apple-cider vinegar, plus more for sauce (optional)
