Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cabbage
- 3 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then rinse under cold water. Slice the cabbage into thin strips and set aside.
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin matchsticks or grate them using a large box grater.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced cabbage and carrots to the pan. Stir well to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender and the carrots are slightly softened but still retain some crunch.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement a variety of mains, such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
