Red cabbage salad with dried cranberries

kr_kapusta_klukvaA sourly sweet salad :)

Requirements for half of a cabbage:
1-2 handfuls of dried cranberries
Juice of 1 Big Lemon
2-3 Tablespoons of Olive oil

*You can also add 1 Teaspoon of Honey or Agava Syrup but it's optional.

Preparation:
- Slice the cabbage into small thin slices,

-Add the lemon juice, olive oil and (If you want) Honey or Agava Syrup,

then mix it all together and let it stay for about 30 minutes so all the juices could soak in better. (Which makes it tastier :))

Bon Apetite :)

After a couple minutes, add the spices, fry it together for about 5 seconds then add the water.
Right after that add the Sweet potato, Potatoes and Jarusalem Artichokes (that were previously cut into large pieces.)

- After 20-30 minutes, check the softness of the vegetables, if they are soft, add the garlic and herbs.
