Cabbage, Beets & Leeks

This is an interesting combination. The amount of leeks and beets are approximate; just use what you have.

1 medium leek, cut in 1-inch pieces (white and light-green parts only)
2 medium beets, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 head cabbage, thinly sliced
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Dash of cinnamon
3 tablespoons white wine or water
Handful of raisins, to taste

Sauté leeks, beets and garlic over medium heat until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Add the cabbage, allspice, cinnamon and wine (or water). Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes until cabbage is tender. Add raisins just before serving and mix in well.

Serves 3 to 4.
