About

This low carb cabbage is thinly sliced and sautéed with sweet shallot and aromatic garlic, then simmered in a tomato stock until soft and tender.

This makes a quick and easy side dish for 4, perfect served with roasted or grilled meats. This would also work as a low carb pasta for two topped with meatballs and grated cheese!

Ingredients

  • 3 cup cabbage
  • 2 tablespoon, chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 cup tomato, canned
  • 1 cup vegetable broth, bouillon or consomme

  1. Thinly slice the shallot and the garlic. Melt the butter in a large skillet over a low/medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and sweat gently until tender and fragrant.
  2. Whilst the shallot and garlic cooks, roughly slice the cabbage into half inch strips. Add the cabbage strips to the pan with the shallot and garlic and pan fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fork tender and starting to soften.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and stock and bring to a gentle boil. Stir well to combine and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the liquid as all evaporated and the cabbage is tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper if required.
