LEMON GARLIC SAUTEED CABBAGE
2 pounds white cabbage, core removed and shredded (10 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
Half of a lemon, cut into wedges
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the salt. It might seem like too much cabbage for the pan, but as it cooks, the cabbage will wilt down.
- Cook, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender and some of the cabbage begins to turn a light brown; 10 to 15 minutes.
- Squeeze the juice from 2 lemon wedges over the cabbage. Taste then adjust with more salt, pepper, and lemon juice as needed.
BROCCOLI AND GREEN ONION QUINOA
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup roasted cashews
1 small head broccoli
3 small scallions, green and white parts (or 2 big ones)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the quinoa (about 1 cup raw quinoa makes 2 cups cooked, save the rest for another recipe!)
- Roast the cashews in a 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes, checking to make sure they don’t burn.
- Slice through the broccoli like you are cutting a head of cabbage, as thinly as you can. Then cut off the longest stems and chop through it to make sure the pieces are small. Steam until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water immediately to
- stop the cooking.
- Thinly slice the scallions and set aside.
- Whisk the oil and lemon juice into the bottom of a mixing bowl. Drop in the quinoa, cashews, broccoli and scallions. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
