Sauteed Cabbage and Roasted Red Peppers

I have to say.  “I LOVE CABBAGE”.  You could probably dip it in doggy doo….and I still might eat it!  Yummy….didn’t that just wet your appetite? lol    I had a half of a head of cabbage left over from making a stew t

he other night….actually….I saved it to experiment with.  I got the idea to fry up some cabbage stuck in my pea brain head….and it wouldn’t stop coming back.  Anyway….this is what I did with it…..

You’ll need:

Cabbage ( I used a half a head….but next time…it will be WAY more!)

Roasted Red Peppers  amount to taste. (coarsely chopped) I used two large pieces from the jar. ( I buy mine in a jar with olive oil)  I usually find it near the condiments and such….at our grocery store….they stock it next to the hot sauce.  I really don’t get that….but okay.

Garlic cloves (chopped)(amount is a personal preference…I used three nice size cloves)

1 Tbsp of extra Virgin olive oil if you want the healthy version….personally I wasn’t worried about it, and I used bacon drippings…but you could still get that flavor by adding some bacon bits.

I heated a skillet over medium high heat, until sizzling and added m

y garlic and cabbage sliced in about 1/4″ thick pieces.  Don’t worry your cabbage will shrink down.   I kept mine stirred well so that the cabbage doesn’t burn.  I cooked it till the cabbage was somewhat softened and transparent…and began to brown ….about 7-10 minutes.   add your peppers.  I left mine a little crunchy, but this is strictly personal preference. The peppers are already roasted…so they don’t need much in the way of real cooking, mostly just heating.   I like them to cook just a bit….to get the flavors to blend a little.  Salted to taste.  I garnished mine with nasturtium leaves and blossoms, which are completely edible…..they have a wonderful “peppery….radish like” flavor.  My garden NEVER goes without these beauties in the summer.  I used them for salads and all kinds of dishes!

Sauteed Cabbage and Roasted Red Peppers is gonna be one of my favorites!

Enjoy.

 

Seriously? Does it get any easier?

 

Love Y’all!
