Kielbasa and Braised Red Cabbage (TNT)

Hi..
I made this for dinner last night and it was really good...My hubby said it was very Polish (and our last name is "starkoski"...so that was good!). I served it with horseradish on the side.
Enjoy!

Kielbasa and Braised Red Cabbage
Ingredients

1 lb of Kielbasa Sausage
1 Small Head of Coarsely Shredded Red Cabbage
1 Red Apple Diced
1 Small Onion, Finely Sliced
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbsp of Rice Wine or White Wine Vinegar
Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste

Step1
Put the olive oil in a large heated oven proof pan and quickly sear
kielbasa on all sides, remove from pan then set
it aside.

Step2
Lower heat to medium and add the cabbage to the pan with a 1/2 a cup of
water, some salt and pepper and cook
it for about 5 minutes until all the cabbage is slightly tender. Add the
diced apple and sliced onions and cook for
10 minutes more. Add the rice wine vinegar then the balsamic vinegar and
reduce the heat, put a lid on the pan
and cook slowly for 10 minutes until the cabbage is tender but firm
and still moist. Add a little more water if
needed to continue the braising process.

Step3
Put kielbasa back in the pan with the cabbage, cover and place pan in a
275 degree pre heated oven for 30 - 40
minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Let kielbasa rest for 2 minutes
then slice it on the bias into 1 inch thick
pieces and plate over the braised cabbage.
Yields 2-4 servings.
