Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, shredded
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, crushed
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add ginger and garlic, cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add carrots, cabbage, salt and black pepper; Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Serve warm.
  • Notes: I prefer the cabbage to be crisp but if you prefer it to be softer you can add about 1/4 vegetable or chicken stock, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until it is the texture that you desire. If using stock, be sure to adjust the amount of salt in the dish since stocks do tend to have sodium.

Fried Cabbage with Carrots and Peppers image

Cabbage is a staple in Gullah cooking, and there's so much more you can do with it than just coleslaw. This simple sauteed cabbage dish is one of my favorite ways to prepare the vegetable, and it's great with just about any protein. Better yet, it's a great dish to serve a large crowd.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, chopped
Cooking oil, as needed
1 medium onion, sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 large carrot, julienned (1 cup)
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced (1 cup)
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced (1 cup)
1 large head green cabbage (about 3 pounds), roughly chopped (12 cups)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a very large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to paper towels, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
  • Add additional oil to the pan if needed. Add the onion, carrot and peppers and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and garlic and saute until the cabbage begins to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the hot sauce and bring to a boil. Cover, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. For this recipe, use a head of green cabbage. Avoid using red or savoy cabbage, as they have a stronger flavor that may not work well with the other ingredients.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven. You need a pot that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much cabbage to the pot, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the cabbage over medium heat. This will help it to cook through without burning.
  • Stir the cabbage frequently. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season the cabbage to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the cabbage hot. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Smothered cabbage with carrots and sweet peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage. This dish can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is also a great option for vegetarians and vegans.
