Spicy Red Cabbage with Apple and Cilantro

In the never ending quest to finish off the 4lb head of red cabbage, this recipe filled a need (and even used up some apple!). The boy was on the fence about the inclusion of cilantro, but I was just happy this worked so well and maybe, just maybe, the cabbage levels are reaching a reasonable point.
