Perfect Vegan Garlic Greens Side Dish
An easy and versatile side dish that will ensure you love your greens and eat them all up!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 medium cabbage (roughly 700g) or equivilant other greens:
- 4-5 cloves garlic finely sliced
- 1 medium chilli, seeds removed and chopped optional! Can also use mild chilli powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Core the cabbage & thinly slice it (Or slice your other greens- if using brocolli cut into florets!). Have the garlic & chilli chopped & ready.
- Heat your frying pan or wok but DO NOT add the oil.
- Add the cabbage (or other greens) to the pan and let cook for a few minutes. They should start to blacken & char a little (this is good! You want that!- but you might want to turn the heat extractor on!)
- Now, add the oil, garlic & chilli, toss around and clamp the lid on.
- Cook for another 5 minutes or so- the greens will sort of saute/steam down.
- Season with salt & serve!
Notes
Options: You can do any/all of these to change up your delicious greens!
- Add a few slices of lemon when you add the garlic
- Add a scant ¼ glass of white wine - just after you add in the garlic
- Use a teaspoon of stock powder (boullion) alongside the garlic
- Toast some almonds or sesame seeds & sprinkle over to serve
