I hate slaw. I hate peppery slaw. I hate sweet slaw. I hate vinegary slaw... well I have never had vinegary slaw. I am willing to try it if someone else makes it, but I am not going out of my way to make something I most likely will not want to eat. If I make something that would pair well with a slaw type side, I like to substitute some simple and delicious sauteed cabbage. This is so easy and fast. It can be started and finished in under 15 minutes, faster if you are one of those super speedy veggie chopping people ( I am not one of those people).
What we are working with..
Half a head of red cabbage and a giant scallion, from my CSA farm basket.
Half a red and yellow pepper
Coconut oil for sautéing
Chop, chop, chop
Pretty easy, huh... Chop the cabbage. Chop the peppers. Chop the scallions.
Sauté time
Add about 2 tablespoons oil to a pan over medium high heat and then stir in all your veggies. Cook, covered, for about 5 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically so that nothing sticks or burns. I added a little bit of salt while it was cooking, which is something that I normally don't do, but I find cabbage (red especially) needs just a pinch to taste perfect.
Finished Product
Here it is paired with a Sweet Potato Salmon Cake Hoagie.
This sautéd cabbage adds great color to any dish and it is as delicious as it is pretty.
