Curried Cabbage

 Have you ever bought a head of cabbage and had no idea what to do with it?  I mean, people braise it and stir-fry it, but somehow it always ends up tasting the same; kinda bland.  Well here’s a great recipe for those that want to amp up the flavor on your cabbage dish!  Let’s do this…

1 Small head of cabbage with the core removed and sliced

2 carrots, peeled and sliced on an angle

1 half of a large onion, sliced

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

3 strips of bacon, chopped

1 cup of chicken broth

3 tbsp. of curry powder

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. red chili flakes (or to taste)

1 capful of apple cider vinegar

a few dashes of worcestershire sauce

a few dashes of hot sauce (of your choice)

½ cup of frozen peas

Cabbage

Bacon

Onions, Garlic and Carrots

Chicken Broth, Worcestershire Sauce, and Hot Sauce

In a pot over medium heat, render the fat of the bacon.  Sautee for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp.

Add in your onions and carrots and allow them to sweat in the bacon fat.  Once your onions are translucent, add in your dry seasonings.  Then add in your cabbage.

Once your cabbage has begun to sweat and get tender, then add in your chicken stock and the rest of your liquid spices.  Simmer on low, covered for about 15 minutes.

At the very last minute, add in your peas and cook for one more minute.

Voila!  Curried Cabbage.

Serve as a side dish, or as the main course, over rice or your grain of choice!

Enjoy!

Onward and upward,
