Vegan Curried Cabbage


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics:
    • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the onion and sauté until soft and slightly golden, about 5–6 minutes.
    • Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for another minute.
  2. Add spices:
    • Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin, curry powder, and smoked paprika.
    • Stir to coat the onions evenly — it should smell amazing right now!
  3. Cook the cabbage:
    • Add the sliced cabbage (and carrot, if using).
    • Season with salt and pepper, then pour in the water or broth.
    • Cover and let it cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
  4. Finish it off:
    • Squeeze in the lemon juice or vinegar.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Serve it up:
    • Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro if you like.
    • Serve with rice, flatbread, or tucked into a wrap!

💡 Ashley’s Add-On Ideas:

  • Add cooked chickpeas or tofu cubes to turn it into a hearty main dish.
  • Want it creamy? Stir in a couple tablespoons of coconut milk at the end.
  • Leftovers are even better the next day — more time for the flavors to mingle!

Want a spicy lentil dal to go with it? Or a turmeric rice recipe? I got you! 😄
