Happy Cabbage
What do you eat when you travel across an ocean? Stress out on two continents? Run around making holiday plans and execute them? Feed a family of hungry skiiers? Host your sister for three weeks? Get the flu? Return to normal life after months of upheaval?
Real food. Real, simple food.
It’s food like this that makes me want to teach everyone all over the world to cook. Seriously. It is straightforward, requires just a little effort and patience, and for all that it is unexpectedly complex and satisfying. Sauteing the cabbage coaxes out it’s natural sweetness, and the coconut oil leaves a rich, buttery, satiating flavor to accompany the slight crunch and light nature of such a humble vegetable. It’s heaven in a bowl. (Note: My photos also include some sauteed mushrooms – new recipe coming next week!)
Happy Cabbage
1/2 large cabbage
1 T coconut oil
1 tsp pink salt
1tsp thyme, optional
Chop the cabbage into a rough dice. Add cabbage and coconut oil to the pan and turn to medium high. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the cabbage turns brown. Stir the cabbage and brown on the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Stir the cabbage again and turn down the heat to medium low. Let the cabbage saute for about 7 -10 minutes. Stir again, add the salt and thyme, and let brown for another 5 minutes.

That looks so simple, yet so good, Kate!! Can’t wait to hear more on those mushrooms. They look adorable.
I hope you’re all better now!
