Curry-Spiced Warm Cabbage Salad
Spice up your cabbage and lightly cook it to take some of the bitterness out. This is a great way to get a very nutritious vegetable into your diet a bit more softly. Walnuts bring protein and omega-3 fats for a more substantial meal. The apples bring a sweet taste to help make this a great addition to your healthy vegan recipes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion, sliced, any type
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cabbage, sliced
- 2 carrots, coarsely grated or cut in matchsticks
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cinnamon, optional – for the sweet fans
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper, optional – for the spicy fans
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or flat leaf parsley or fresh basil)
- 1 lime, or lemon, juice and zest
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium, add the coconut oil and allow to melt if it’s solid. Add the onions, and stir to coat them in the oil. Leave them to cook until they are just starting to soften.
- Add the apple slices, and allow them to cook a few minutes until they also soften slightly. Add the walnuts, stir, then add the cabbage. Stir the cabbage to coat it with oil, then allow it to cook until it has just started to wilt.
- Stir the grated carrots through, then add the spices and the fresh cilantro. Stir them in to evenly coat the vegetables, then add the lime or lemon juice.
- Allow the salad to stay on the heat for a minute or two, to incorporate the spices and citrus, then remove from heat and serve. Garnish with more walnuts or chopped cilantro.
