2 Tbsp vinegar 
1/4 cup wine, red or white 
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded 
2 Tbsp vegetable oil 
1/2 tsp salt 
1/4 tsp pepper 
1 Tbsp caraway seeds 

Fry bacon in medium-size fry pan until crisp. Remove and reserve bacon. Add sugar, vinegar and wine to bacon fat, stir and cook until sugar is dissolved. Pour this hot mixture over the cabbage.

Spicy African Kale and Yams 

1 large bunch Kale, 4 cups chopped, pressed firm 
4 cup Garnet yam, rinsed well, chopped 
1 1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil 
2 cup Purple cabbage, sliced 
1 1⁄2 cup Onion, chopped 
3 tablespoon soy sauce 
2 tablespoon salt, or to taste 
1 tablespoon minced garlic 
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and minced 
1 teaspoon serrano chile, seeded and diced 
Hot Sauce, to taste 

1. Rinse and drain kale well. Steam kale and yams. Kale should still be colorful and yams should still have some firmness.

3. Add cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add small amounts of water if necessary to prevent sticking. Place in a large mixing bowl with remaining ingredients, add kale and mix well. 
4. Add yams and gently mix well.

Ruby Salad with Crumbled Feta & Spicy Pepitas 

For the beets: 

1 bunch small beets (4 to 5), trimmed and scrubbed 
2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary, or 3 fresh bay leaves 
1/2 tsp. kosher or sea salt 
1 Tbs. olive oil 

For the vinaigrette: 

1 Tbs. Dijon mustard 
2 Tbs. sherry vinegar 
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
For the spicy pepitas: 
6 oz. pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds, available in natural-foods or specialty stores) 
1 tsp. corn or peanut oil 
1 tsp. pure chile powder (such as New Mexico or ancho) 
3/4 tso. kosher salt 

For the salad: 

4 cups very thinly sliced red cabbage (from 1 very small head) 
1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced 
4 oz. (4 cups) mixed baby greens 
6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup) 
6 oz. spicy pepitas (1 generous cup; see the ingredients above and instructions below) 

Roast the beets: Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Put the beets, herbs, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil in the center; toss the beets to coat. Fold the foil into a loose-fitting but tightly sealed packet around the beets. Roast the packet on the baking sheet until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 20 min. Let the beets cool completely in the foil. When cool, use a paring knife to peel and slice the beets into wedges (six to eight per beet.) The beets can be roasted up to two days ahead and refrigerated. 
Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, 1?4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil. 
Toast the pepitas: Heat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, toss pepitas with corn oil, chile powder, and kosher salt. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 375°F until golden and fragrant, 6 to 8 min. (you'll hear them popping). Let cool completely on the baking sheet. If making ahead, store in an airtight container. 
Make the salad: Combine the cabbage and onion in a medium bowl and set aside. Up to an hour before serving, add the beet wedges to the cabbage and onions; toss gently with half of the vinaigrette. 
Just before serving, add the baby greens, half of the feta, and half of the pepitas; toss with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange on a big serving platter and garnish with the remaining feta and pepitas.
