SPICY CAJUN CABBAGE
I threw this together one night when I was craving a Cajun chicken pasta dish I used to make. I've missed it since going low-carb. This dish was a perfect substitute! Great texture and a very, very mild vegetable flavor. Mostly just Cajun yumminess! Adjust the spices to your taste.

SPICY STIR-FRIED CABBAGE
This is a vegetarian version of a classic Chinese stir-fry. The authentic versions I've encountered include some pork or bacon, but the chilies, ginger, garlic, star anise and the cabbage are flavorful enough without meat. I've added carrots for color.

Steps:
- Combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and star anise in a small bowl. Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in another small bowl.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and star anise. Stir-fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant, then add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt, then add the salt and wine/soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook over high heat for one minute until just wilted. Uncover and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then stir in the chives or cilantro and remove from the heat. The cabbage should be crisp-tender. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:
- Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
- Heat a large saute pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits (aka FLAVOR).
- Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper if you like, or a splash more vinegar if you'd like to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

SAUTéED CABBAGE AND ONIONS
Steps:
- I find that when I buy a good-sized green cabbage and use a small amount in a recipe, the remainder often languishes in the fridge. This is an ideal way to use up green cabbage while it still has some flavor. For this preparation, you can use half or even most of a cabbage. In a large skillet or stir-fry pan, sauté a quartered and thinly sliced onion in some olive oil. When it starts to turn golden, stir in thinly sliced cabbage. Cook, covered, until the cabbage wilts. If the pan dries out, add just enough water to moisten. Once the cabbage is wilted, uncover and cook until both the cabbage and onion begin to brown, stirring frequently. Add a sprinkling of poppy seeds, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm head of green or Napa cabbage. Avoid using red cabbage, as it has a stronger flavor that may overpower the other ingredients.
- Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the cabbage, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cabbage from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the cabbage from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can grease it with a little oil before cooking.
- Cook the cabbage over high heat: This will help to quickly caramelize the cabbage and give it a slightly smoky flavor.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
Conclusion:
This spicy sautéed cabbage is a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. Serve it with rice, noodles, or your favorite protein for a complete meal.
