Spicy Cabbage Side (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 cups of cabbage, freshly chopped
02 -
1 tablespoon of olive oil (high-quality works great)
03 -
1 tablespoon of tamari (add a splash more if needed)
04 -
3 cloves of garlic, minced finely
05 -
1 teaspoon of chili flakes for that spicy kick
06 -
1 tablespoon of hot paprika (add more if you want it extra spicy)
07 -
Cumin, ½ teaspoon (optional but deepens the flavor)
08 -
Pinch of salt as per taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse your cabbage well and strip off any damaged or wilted outer leaves. Cut it in half, lay it flat side down for easier handling, and slice into thin strips. Be sure to remove the hard center core!
02 -
Warm up your olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage along with your hot paprika, stirring quickly for a few minutes to get it evenly spiced.
03 -
Stir in tamari, chili flakes, and the finely minced garlic. Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes more until the cabbage has soaked up the flavors, but still stays a little crunchy.
04 -
Give it a quick taste-test and tweak the seasoning. Maybe toss in more tamari, a touch more salt, or up the spice level if you're in the mood!
05 -
Scoop the cabbage onto your plate while it's still warm and vibrant. It's a great partner for any protein or a carb like rice!
