Red Cabbage Pilaf

Red cabbage has all of the nutritional benefits of green cabbage and more, like anthocyanins, phytochemicals that some experts believe have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and even more vitamin C and vitamin K. Red cabbage has a robust, hearty flavor compared to green cabbage, plus it is probably one of the healthiest vegetables around, especially if you eat it raw. You can shred red cabbage and eat it raw in a salad, briefly saute it in a stir fry, braise it, or toss it into a stew.I have done Pilaf with this and tastes awesome
