Cabbage 2 ways


cabbage

When we buy cabbage in the market, it is only the light green, tightly rolled up ball of leaves that is being presented. Actually there are a number of thick, dark green outer leaves that covered the heart.
When growing cabbage at home, it is such a waste to throw these outer leaves away. So I stew them in a rich sauce, which goes well with the "meaty" texture of the leaves.

1. Cut thick leaves into pieces, stir-fry in coconut oil with slices of garlic and ginger until soften. Season with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, a couple of star anise and cloves, add a few dates or prunes for sweetness and thickens the sauce.

2. Cook at low heat for half an hour,  let it cool down and reheat to concentrate the sauce.
