    This cabbage stir fry is perfect as a side dish to accompany any meat dish but goes great with fish, chicken or pork. This recipe will give you a new love for cabbage as it is just so tasty and if you don’t enjoy boiled cabbage then this is a great alternative.

    I cook this recipe at least once a week and what I love about it is that once prepared you can store it in the fridge and it taste just as great once reheated. Because of this, it is a great recipe for meal prepping which I occasionally do if I have a busy week ahead.

    If you’re on a low carb diet then simply pair this meal with your favourite meat dish and if you eat a balanced diet, it goes great with meat and brown rice or potatoes. The recipe is quick and very easy to follow and prepared in under 15 minutes and unlike boiled cabbage, you get to retain all the nutrients that would usually be lost during the boiling method.

    Nutrients in Cabbage

    Cabbage is very healthy and contains a range of nutrients that are important for health. It contains large amounts of Vitamin K which is a fat-soluble vitamin useful for helping wounds to heal. There is also a small amount of evidence to suggest it may also keep bones healthy.

    Vitamin C is found within cabbage in moderate levels. Vitamin C protects and helps to keep the cells in our body healthy. It is also important to help maintain healthy skin, bones and cartilage. Vitamins found in smaller amounts include, folate, manganese, vitamin B6, calcium, potassium and magnesium.

    As you see there are many benefits to eating cabbage and if you don’t enjoy boiled cabbage then give this recipe a try.

    Ingredients for Cabbage Stir Fry

    • ½ medium white cabbage – Slice the cabbage as thinly as possible.
    • ½ small onion – finely chop the onions.
    • 2 garlic cloves – finely chop the garlic clove. You can also use ready prepared minced garlic.
    • 1 large carrot – peel and slice the carrot.
    • 70g cherry tomatoes – this is around 5 – 6 cherry tomatoes.
    • 1½ tablespoon of coconut oil – you can use any oil of choice.
    • Salt – add salt to taste.
    • Black pepper – add black pepper to taste.
    • Sprig of thyme – you can also use dried thyme though fresh thyme does taste better with this dish. This ingredient is optional.

    How to Make Cabbage Stir Fry

    1. Start by prepping all the vegetables. Wash then thinly slice the cabbage, onion, garlic and carrots then cut the tomatoes in half.

    2. Once the ingredients are all prepped, place the frying pan with the oil on a medium heat.  Allow the oil to heat up then add all the vegetables at once and stir fry for 1 minute.

    3. Turn the heat down low and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Throw in the thyme and cover the pan. Allow it to cook for a further 10 minutes or until wilted then turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before removing the thyme and serving with your favourite dish.
