Cabbage with Caraway and Red Pepper

Cabbage is one of the World’s Healthiest Foods, and we’re always looking for interesting ways to add more to our diets.

I got this idea from a blog today, but I can’t find the original again. Here’s my version:

  • 1 lb onion (white, yellow), chopped
  • 2 Tb EVOO

Add the EVOO to a large frying pan or wok. Add the onion and saute until clear. In the meantime, prepare:

  • 4-5 garlic cloves, microplaned, pressed or minced
  • 1/4 tsp (or more) crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1 medium-large cabbage, cut into 3/4 inch ribbons. I used the heart too.
  • 1/4 cup water or as needed
  • salt and fresh ground pepper

When the onion is cooked, add the garlic, crushed  red pepper and caraway seeds. Saute for a minute or so until the garlic gets aromatic.

Add the cabbage ribbons and 1/4 cup of water, cover over medium heat and steam for 15 minutes.

Toss, add salt and pepper to taste, serve.

We liked this a lot and will make many times in the winter when it’s too cold to eat cabbage in slaws.
