Cabbage and Eggs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 small head of cabbage (or about 4 cups shredded cabbage)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or cumin (optional for extra flavor)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the cabbage:
- Shred the cabbage into thin strips or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set it aside.
2. Sauté the vegetables (optional):
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- If using, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Cook the cabbage:
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika or cumin (if using). Stir to combine.
- Cook the cabbage for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and slightly caramelized. If you prefer softer cabbage, cover the pan and let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
4. Scramble the eggs:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Push the cabbage to the sides of the skillet to create space in the center. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter to the center and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
- Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are scrambled and cooked through. Gently mix the eggs into the cabbage, ensuring they are well combined.
5. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve warm as a main dish or side dish.
Tips:
- For added protein, you can mix in cooked bacon, sausage, or ground turkey to the cabbage and eggs.
- If you want to make this dish spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- You can add cheese to the eggs for a creamy texture, such as cheddar or feta.
