Time 25m

1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, shredded

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.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right vegetables: Select firm, brightly colored squash and carrots for the best flavor and texture. Look for squash that is heavy for its size, and avoid any with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cutting the vegetables: Cut the squash and carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster, while larger pieces will take longer.
  • Cooking the vegetables: Cook the squash and carrots over medium heat, stirring occasionally. This will help them to brown and caramelize, developing their natural sweetness.
  • Adding flavor: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular options include garlic, ginger, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve the sautéed squash and carrots as a side dish or main course. They can also be added to salads, soups, and stews.

Sautéed squash and carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and they can be easily customized to suit your own taste.
