cider braised red cabbage with leeks

This is based on an ale braised cabbage recipe from the <a href="http://www.recipe.com/ale-braised-cabbage-with-leeks/">Vegetarian Times</a>. <br />I've swapped the beer for cider to give it slight sweetness, added thyme for a little more herby body, and added lemon zest as well as the juice for a really bright finish that balances the sweetness of the cider and woodiness of the thyme very nicely. You really want to be sure you don't overcook the cabbage so that it still has a bit of a crunchy bite once it's all done.
