Equipment

  • large pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • ½ head green cabbage core removed and thinly sliced
  • ½ large white onion thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot shredded
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach roughly chopped if needed
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage and onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes and stir occasionally.
  • Add the shredded carrot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
  • Stir in the minced garlic then add the spinach. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

Notes:
Storing and reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Helpful tips:
  • Slice the onion and cabbage evenly to ensure proper cooking.
  • Use a large skillet. As the cabbage gets tender, it will reduce down.
  • Add the garlic and spinach last. The spinach wilts quickly and the garlic doesn’t need to cook long.
  • Continue to stir the cabbage as it cooks down.
