Cabbage is one of the most under-rated and beautiful tasting vegetables if cooked correctly. It's also full of vitamins C & A. If your childhood memories of cabbage are of a over-boiled mush, do yourself a favor and try this recipe. It might change your view on cabbage.
Ingredients:
3 cups red & green cabbage, finely sliced
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
4 T olive oil
1 T water
1 T soy sauce
2 teas parsley, chopped
salt & pepper to taste
garnish with pistachio nuts
Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan on a medium heat and cover. Once you hear the cabbage start to fry, shake the pan while holding the lid on.
Continue to cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes giving the saucepan a good shake every minute or so.
When done the cabbage should be wilted but glistening.
This dish should take less than 30 minutes to prepare and will serve 4.
Variations:
- use Savoy cabbage, or a combination of red and green cabbage
- after cooking and before serving sprinkle with roasted cashew nuts or pine nuts
- add thinly sliced strips of fried tofu
Wheat free & Gluten Free
Soy sauce is the one item in this recipe that might contain wheat. So if your soy sauce is wheat or gluten free – the recipe will be too.
Thank you Darlyn, I love cabbage and this recipe as well as the braised purple cabbage recipe are two of my favorites.
