Ingredients
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds (raw, no salt)1/2 teaspoon natural cane sugar (or brown sugar)1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil1 red onion, diced3 medium cloves garlic, minced1 pound head of red cabbage or radicchio, quartered and cut into thin ribbons (6 cups raw)1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced2 tablespoons golden raisins (or other plump, chopped dried fruit)1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
Serves 2 - 3.5 vegetable and 1/2 fruit each

Roast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Sprinkle on the sugar. Stir until the sugar melts and coats the seeds (you pan will need to be hot enough). Transfer the seeds immediately to a plate so they don't stick to the pan. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onion for a minute or two. Stir in the garlic and the cabbage. Stir and cook for just a minute or so, or until the cabbage softens up just a touch. Then stir in the rosemary, raisins, and the vinegar. The cabbage will continue to get more and more tender even after you remove it from the heat, so keep that in mind, and do your best to avoid overcooking it - where it collapses entirely. Serve garnished with the sunflower seeds.
