Tangy Sautéed Cabbage

Want a super easy side dish that will be a hit at your next barbecue or get together? Your guests won’t have had anything like this Tangy Sautéed Cabbage before! It’s refreshing, full of flavor, and a great side dish for any season. Serve warm or cold–it’s good either way!

Ingredients:

• 1 small cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 medium onions, diced
• 2 small carrots, shredded
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Chopped cilantro and chilli for toppings
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

• Add oil to a non-stick pot or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sauté the onions until softened and then add the carrots. Cook for a few more minutes.
• Add the cabbage and cook for about 10- 15 minutes, or until it is softened to your liking (I like it to retain a bit of crunch).
• Add in the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir everything well and turn off the heat.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and chillies (obviously optional).
• Serve.

This tangy sautéed cabbage is sure to be a hit–it’s like an updated cole slaw with a fresh, punchy bite. It’s equally good with a simple grilled chicken, a buffet of international foods, or just on its own for a snack. You can add a squeeze of lime for more of a bite, add chopped chillies for more heat, or omit the cilantro if you’re not a fan (I can’t get enough!). This dish is so easily customizable that you can completely make it your own.
